Grosset & Dunlap, New York, 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good- Condition/Fair. Book This appears to be the First Edition printing of #9 in the Dana Girls series, though it could be a 1941 printing. Even Axe only provides general information on the formats for the books in the series. This has the purple cloth over heavy boards with the silhouette of the girls in a circle on the front cover, which fits Axe's Format I. He calls for the end papers to show the girls reading a letter printed in burgundy; here they are in green. However, he calls for burgundy in Format II (1942-1944), as well, so the green seems to be an alternate color for some bindings. This has a plain frontis, but it is on better paper than the WWII acidic paper of Format II. The dust jacket has the early 50 cent pricing (5050 at the top of the front flap) and lists the series to this title. The the list of Nancy Drew books on the rear flap only goes to "The Clue of the Tapping Heels," which was published… Read More
