New York:: Grosset & Dunlap,, (ca 1949. c. 1938.). Hardcover -. Fair condition only (rather severe toning to the pages. corners bumped, shelfwear, damage to ends of spine, prev owner's name dated 1949) in a fair dust jacket (overall edgewear, creasing, rubbing, price-clipped, etc). Early printing. My favorite series as a young girl: I liked them for the realism: Judy starts out as a high school girl, has some of the usual problems all kids encounter including misunderstandings among friends, etc, is a little older and more mature in each book - in fact, she gets married, and eventually she and her husband even adopt a child. Unlike most of the other series books published by Grosset and Dunlap, this was not part of the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Margaret Sutton was a real woman, writing under her own name. Because of the opposition of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, this series did not have the extensive reprinting that the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys had. Frontispiece. Bound in terra cott boards with purple lettering, pink and white "flashlight" endpapers by Pelagie Doane. Lists to #17 on front flap of dust jacket, 250 pp
