Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Choose from these Nancy Drew books by Carolyn Keene. They are the yellow matte editions, whose volumes ran from 1-38. Many, but not all, have 25 chapters. All of these have blue endpapers. You'll want to read the descriptions carefully and look at the pictures, as conditions vary. I have a separate listing for the yellow matte editions that are newer and have white endpapers with black printing on them. I am happy to combine on shipping. Shipping is via USPS Media Mail. The first book is $5.00, and additional books on the same invoice are $1/book. Buy 2 books, get a 5% discount, buy 3 or more books, get a 10% discount. If you'd like to see more pictures or have questions, message me. If you are looking for a book with different cover art, or that isn't currently listed, feel free to message me, as I may have a book with different cover art in my inventory, and I may have books in inventory that haven't made it to this listing yet. "What's a BLUE ENDPAPER?", you ask. It's the first two parts of the book and the last two parts of the book. There are scenes from other books on the endpapers. Blue Endpaper books often (but not always) have 25 chapters instead of the 20 that you'll see in newer editions of the Nancy Drew series (I've noted the number of chapters in the description below). Only the first 38 volumes have blue endpapers, and Volumes 35-38 only have 20 chapters. Over time, Nancy Drew stories have been updated to more current standards, and the storylines were modified to decrease the number of pages. The cover art on these books are often quite different from those on newer editions. The illustrations often are quite different as well. Note that the cover art has changed for some of these books. If you see two books listed with the same title and an "a" or "b" after the volume number, those are copies I have where the cover art changed. Read the descriptions and review the pictures to be sure you buy the right version. 01 The Secret of the Old Clock BLUE ENDPAPERS. Copyright 1959. It is in GOOD condition.
