Book #8 in the classic girls series featuring the sleuthing sister pair Louise & Jean Dana. This is one of the original series hardcovers with purple textured cloth over boards & a black silhouette of the sisters/lettering to front & spine, green-toned endpapers with the girls reading a note. Orig. published in 1938, this is a slightly later (c. 1940) printing, with glossy Frontis, in 213 pages; lists to DG #9, BFG, & BG #11 in rear. (Please see our listing # 019467 for a true First edition, first printing, but with NO DJ). Condition is Near Fine: exceptionally clean & bright, marred only by slight corner bumping. Binding strong & square, both hinges intact. Pages modestly tanned. The unclipped DJ (in the late 1930s-1940s turquoise design) is only Good, downgraded due to missing paper at both ends of spine, overall rubbing (inc. right in center front) & edgewear, mild spine fading. Lists to DG #10 on front flap, ND #18 on rear flap. Beautifully protected in new mylar cover Free! Our photos depict the EXACT book you will receive from us--never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
