DUST JACKET VOLUMES
THE SECRET OF THE OLD MILL -- Number 3, yellow-spine, brown and white multi-pic endpapers. Clean, bright, solid and unfaded inside and out, but for some reason, a previous owner put cellophane tape along the dj edges (tape which has yellowed with age). Still a nice copy, but priced lower because of tape. $10.00
THE MYSTERY OF THE FLYING EXPRESS -- Number 20, VG+/VG+. Yellow spine dj, brown and white multi-pic endpapers. Book is clean and solid, dj bright and colorful, with only a tiny bit of wear to the spine base. A really nice copy. $20.00
THE PHANTOM FREIGHTER -- Here's a VG/VG- number 26, in the wrap-style dj. The book is clean and bright, very solid (brown and white multi-pic endpapers,) and the dj shows nice cover art, but there is some edge wear on the front fold, and a few small closed tears on the back of the dj. A nice copy. $15.00
THE PHANTOM FREIGHTER -- A VG/VG- printing of #26. This copy has orange and white Gretta endpapers, wrap-style dj flap lists to previous title, no titles listed inside and end of story refers to Skull Mountain. I believe this is a 1947B-2 printing, making it quite early. Clean and solid, book has previous owner's bookplate on front free endpaper. Dj spine has lightened slightly, and there's just a bit of edge wearing, but overall clean and bright. An attractive copy. $30.00
THE SECRET OF SKULL MOUNTAIN -- Number 27, in a wrap-style dj. VG/VG-. Brown tweed book with orange and white Gretta endpapers is clean and solid, dj bright and colorful. Dj does show some edge wearing to spine top and bottom, and a few small closed tears, otherwise quite nice. $15.00
