Book #2 in the YA mystery series featuring Judy Bolton. Orig. published in 1932, this is a slightly later printing, retaining the original green cloth-covered boards with mauve lettering & design to front & spine. Still the thick version, with a glossy (not plain) frontispiece by Pelagie Doane (unattributed); no internals. Pink "staircase" endpapers in 212 pages with list of other JB titles (thru #12) in rear, along with lists of other girls' series. Condition is VG: very clean & bright, binding strong & square, pages moderately tanned, heavier around edges, commensurate with age & wartime paper quality (notice on title page), but unmarked. Externally, corners are crisp, with minimal edgewear. Fairly heavy rubbing to inner bottom edge of front cover & up along spine, lighter rubbing in other places. The unclipped DJ is the original "white spine" variety, listing to JB#15 on front flap, ND# 19 on rear flap, & 16 HBfG on back cover. Condition is VG-/Good+: very clean & bright, with chipping at head of spine & surrounding top edges of front & back covers, same edge; very minor rubbing & light soil elsewhere, sticker residue to spine center. Nicely protected in new mylar cover Free. Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
