The Riddle in Red (A Connie Blair Mystery)

Book #2 in this short-lived (12-volume) girls' series written by Betty Cavanaugh under the pseudonym Betsy Allen, each featuring a "color" in the title connected to a new mystery confronting our heroine Connie Blair, a career girl working at an advertising agency in Philadelphia, PA. The series was originally written 1948-1958. This edition is one of the originals with its DJ, NOT the later picture cover reprints from the 1960s. Hardcover book has brown tweed cloth-covered boards with lettering & profile of Connie on front cover. Listing to book #9 in front matter & book #7 on front DJ flap, it is a later printing of the 1948 First Edition. Condition is VG: very clean, binding strong & square, pages creamy white. NO writing or underlining or highlighting or coloring, but stamp(not ex-lib) to ffep. Mild corner bumping & ding to fore edge side of front cover are only other flaws. The unclipped DJ is barely Good: intact, but with heavy rubbing & a large chip to head of spine; nicely protected in clear mylar for you collection.
