1930s Vintage Nancy Drew Mystery Stories Carolyn Keene Blue Hardcover Books

Description: Lot of 7 Nancy Drew Mystery books by Carolyn Keene. Five books are from the 1930s, one is from the 1940s and the date of the last is unknown but it is noticeably older than the others and in the worst shape. These are 80-95+ year old books made during the Depression/WWII out of cheaper materials and not made to last, yet here they are! These books were well-loved and oft-read and show it. All books are readable and there are no missing pages of text. Most books have the owner's name but there are no/few extraneous pen/pencil marks, torn pages, or dog-ears. All books have yellowed pages and some staining. Please look closely at the photographs as they are the main part of the description for this listing.
