You have a real treasure as they are not easy to find! I didn't know about the 1932 printing of Larkspur Lane....I'm sure there's a copy packed away in someone's grandma's attic!<br /><br />Diane, Ruth, and Julie -- Thanks so much for joining in bibliomania day and leaving comments; I think every day is a good day for bibliomania day.

I have all of the yellow hard bound edition and 14 of the 25 chapter ones you mentioned (not first editions) -- white spine, dust jackets -- but alas, no Secret of the Old Clock. The covers are really beautiful.<br /><br />Trivia: In August of 1932, Nancy Drew volume #9 The Password to Larkspur Lane was released for a brief time and then replaced with volume #9 the Sign of the Twisted Candles.<br /><br />Then in September 1933 Volume #10 Password to Larkspur lane was re-released. IF you find a 1932 printing of Larkspur Lane, you have found the Holy Grail of Nancy Drew collectibles.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870662298657958483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594646035303934578.post-69434821845121006862010-03-20T21:50:03.951-05:002010-03-20T21:50:03.951-05:00That's an adorable picture of you reading! I ...That's an adorable picture of you reading! I wish I still had my old Nancy Drews, they were my mother's and they were the old orginal blue hardcovers. I remember being sick in 5th grade and my sisters found them way up high on a shelf in our library and brought them to me to read in bed. I devoured them like candy! I still remember Nancy's roadster and George's bob hairdo and scaredy cat Bess - and of course Ned Nickerson! They were great books! I always wondered what chains were, didn't it seem like Nancy always had to put chains on the wheels of her car? <br /><br />Loved your answers - fun post!Julie at Outlandish Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16595989966510183531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594646035303934578.post-41182917958566668152010-03-20T21:11:59.274-05:002010-03-20T21:11:59.274-05:00My mom has some of the original Nancy Drew hardcov...My mom has some of the original Nancy Drew hardcovers - I didn't realize that about the chapter length!
