Item description from seller

Book #19 in the classic series featuring girl sleuth, Nancy Drew, & her chums, Bess & George. Orig. published in 1942, this edition is a slightly later printing (1946D or 1947A per Farah's 11th), retaining the orig. frontispiece art by Russell Tandy, no internals, original 25-chapter text, 213 pages. With the original blue binding, orange silhouette to front cover & orange lettering to front & spine. Orange silhouette endpapers. Condition is VG+: very clean, binding strong & straight, both hinges secure. Pages are heavily tanned, commensurate with being wartime paper quality (notice to title page), but completely unmarked save for owner's name & volume # to both front & rear endpapers. Exterior shows very mild rubbing to extremities, slight loss at head of spine. The unclipped white spine DJ is Fair: mostly there, & clean & bright, but both front & rear flaps are missing (thus the dating discrepancy) & a few chips & unclosed tears; nicely protected in new clear mylar cover Free! Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping if ordered by 2 pm weekdays (Pacific); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next day.…
