I am selling my entire collection of Hardy Boys book as well as some other books in my collection. The Hardy Boys collection consists of over 220 different books and 1 or 2 duplicates. The collection includes early books from the 1920s through the later picture cover books of the 60's and 70's and all in between. There are 1st editions, harder to find variations and examples of all the different dust jacket art, spine types, book boards and end papers and even story revisions. Information on each book that I provide comes mostly from the fine guide, Hardy and Hardy Investigations 6th edition by Tony Carpentieri and Paul Mular. If you are looking for a certain book for your collection or just readers for your kids or grandkids, check my listing periodically because it will take some time to get all these listed and I will do it randomly. While the few Applewood books I have are not, all my other jacketed books are protected by Mylar, done by me or a previous owner. I'll combine shipping if requested.
This is The House on the Cliff, the 2nd title in the Hardy Boys series. This is the 1st edition/printing of the Applewood Facsimile edition. It was printed in the 1991. The cover art is the reprint of the original Walter S Rogers work from 1927. The endpapers for this book are blank and the book boards are red as with the original book. The text is the same as the original. The book has an introduction by Leslie McFarlane reprinted from The Ghost of the Hardy Boys which is not counted in the page count listed above.
The boards and binding of this book are in excellent condition. The pages have some small smudges on the top and bottom outside edges. The dust jacket has a several 1/4" to 1/2" tears on the top of the front cover and top and bottom of the back cover. There is some small chipping on the gold band around the bottom of the dust cover. There is sticker glue remnants in two places on the front cover. One under the word, 'Cliff" and one, mostly on the spine, between the author's name and the Applewood logo.
