HARDY BOYS MYSTERY STORIES by Franklin W. Dixon

HARDY BOYS®
ORANGE SPINE DUST JACKET EDITIONS



In the mid-1930's, Grosset & Dunlap decided to jazz up The Hardy Boys dust jackets and updated the spines from white to gold. Sometimes the gold looked orange, sometimes yellow and sometimes even brown. Volumes 1 through 25 were available in this format and some titles remained in print long after the conversion to the Wrap Illustrated dust jackets in the mid-1940's. Selected titles remained in print in this format until the conversion to the pictorial cover editions in 1962. These editions utilized the Orange and Brown Multiple Picture Endpapers.
JUDGE A BOOK BY THE COVER! Whenever you see the highlighted word "View", following a book listing, you can click on it to see an picture of the actual dust jacket for that particular title.
Note: The number listed in parentheses after the condition indicates the number of series titles listed on the front flap of the dust jacket.
For example, a copy of volume #1, The Tower Treasure, which lists to volume #19 is an earlier printing than a similar copy listing to volume #33.
