Grosset Dunlap. Copyright 1959; never revised. This is the original 20-chapter text, Farah-coded 1962A-10. This is a first picture cover, a matte cover. In pretty good condition, but with some front cover corner bumping (the right lower one is significant) and wear on the left upper corner of the front cover. Some wear and a storage musty smell, which can be cured by inserting a laundry fabric softener sheet, such as is added in the drying cycle, in the book Blue-inked top. Blue/white multi-scene endpapers. Good hinges, minor tracking (see picture of front hinge track), no loose pages. Prior owner name on the back of the front free endpaper in ballpoint. Title page and frontispiece page are dog-eared (folded) but not torn. Rear cover lists to The Mystery of the Fire Dragon. Internal lists cite The Clue of the Dancing Puppet and Dana Girls The Sierra Gold Mystery. NOTE: Hope you're not a New York state resident. When we ship to an address within NY state, you're out of luck. An 8.75% sales tax (ouch) must be added to your purchase. (36J)
