#33 in the Nancy Drew series.
Grosset and Dunlap Book Club Edition, Type 1, Set 1. Original copyright was 1957, but this is a Book Club Edition with a 1959 printing and copyright date as well. Type 1 was in print until 1962 (when the picture book Book Club Edition, Type 2, with the blank yellow back cover were published). Only Type 1 has the Polly Bolian art and the full-color glossy frontispiece replica of the front cover, and also an illustrated back of the dust jacket, along with some plain line illustrations by Bolian throughout the text. Original 20-chapter text, never revised.
Not rare, but certainly a conversation piece and much appreciated by collectors.
No writing/markings. Clean, lovely book. Dust jacket , while attractive, has some minor chipping at the top and bottom of the spine.
Protected in mylar cover.
Great addition to any Nancy fan's library.
