Nancy Drew: #25 The Ghost of Blackwood Hall (1957A19-A20 hybrid) HB/DJ 1st/Early

Publisher: Grosset and Dunlap, 1948

This is a 1957 between A19 and A20 perhaps, per Farah. A new edition to be listed. A cool unique edition. This is an odd one because it doesn't match either A19 or A20, but a bit of both. Price is 100100; age code 100-150. Digger end papers. The front lists to ND Hidden Window. The back cover lists to Black Flower. The back flaplists 18 Cherry Ames titles. The front flap lists to Hidden Window. The back of the jacket lists to Ghosts in the Gallery. The rear flap lists to Beverly Grey Surprise.

The book is in Near Fine-, a nice copy. A small crack in the front end paper gutter.

The jacket is in VG+ condition with creases and small missing pieces.

The front list has check marks.

The book has 4 square corners and other than noted, there is no writing or marks in the book.

This is not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy. The binding is straight and tight.

Please note:
  • The picture(s) are of the actual item for sale. (Pictures are NOT stock photos.)
  • If the book has a dust jacket: (1) The dust jacket is protected in a Brodart to ensure that it remains in the best possible condition. (2) The Brodarted dust jacket is not taped to the book. (3) When we take a picture of a book (or make a scan), it may cause a glare on the plastic of the Brodart. This is not a defect in the book or jacket; it is just a reflection off the Brodart.

  • BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, I'd like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell.
  • Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine.
  • I don't use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book.
  • A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new.
