Older Nancy Drew, The Mystery of the Ivory Charm (Vol. 13) with offers glossy frontispiece and three glossy internals. This appears to be the fourth printing per Farrah's Guide. Only the first four printings had the glossy internals, making this a harder one to find. No DJ, but the illustrations are lovely. The front and back cover both have residue of cup rings on them; why someone would have placed a cup on this nice old book...Argh! The spine is slightly faded with creasing, all pages intact. Edges of the book cover, especially the corners, are a little worn. A few pages have foxing. Tiny nicks to the bottoms of pages 35-44. Page 171/172 has the tip of the corner torn off (shown). The front internal list of Nancy Drew titles lists 1-13. The book listings in the back of the book include Nancy Drew 1-13; Judy Bolton 1-9; Melody Lane 1-6; and Books for Girls titles (nine listed on the page). Feel free to message me if you need more details or additional pictures.
Vintage books, even if well-loved or hidden away in someone's attic, will have imperfections. You may find pencil or pen marks, previous owner names/nameplates, bumping to corners, shelf wear, spotting and at times a faint musty odor. If present, dust jackets may be torn or have missing pieces. All books have been displayed in a smoke-free, pet-friendly environment since coming into my possession. I do my best to capture condition issues in the photos and description of the item.
Shipping is free anywhere in the United States. I ship within 1-3 business days of purchase.
I collect the book series I loved as a child and in the process acquired duplicate titles. Hubby and I also frequent flea markets in search of vintage and antique items, so naturally I end up with more vintage books! I love books with nice cover art and/or internal illustrations. More books will be listed soon along with other vintage and antique items. Thanks for looking!
