Description: On Offer from Homeward Bound Books On Offer From ... Homeward Bound Books TITLE: The Secret in the Old Attic AUTHOR: Carolyn Keene ILLUSTRATOR: Rusell H. Tandy PUBLISHER: Grosset & Dunlap DATE: © 1944 EDITION: First edition. Farah 1944 B-2 FORMAT: Hardcover with dust jacket. SIZE: 18.5 cm. (~7.5") PAGES: 216 p. DESCRIPTION: The 21st book in the Nancy Drew mystery series for children. This is a first edition, which matches Farah's 1944 B-2 points. It is bound in blue cloth with an orange Nancy silhouette and titles on the upper board and orange titles on the spine. The end papers are the orange silhouette version. It has a plain frontispiece and no rear book ads. There is a Wartime Conditions statement on the title page. The book lists to itself on the front flap of the dust jacket. The front rear flap list number 12 of the Dana Girls series (Portrait in the Sand) and the rear panel lists the first 13 Beverly Gray titles (to Beverly Gray's Problem). This issue appears to be more scarce than the 1944 A printing. CONDITION: Book is in very good minus condition. Sound and square binding. There is some wear at the corner tips and spine ends and the corners of the lower board are slightly bumped. The top stain is still quite dark and fresh looking. There is a tiny scratch to the front edge of the text block, but no staining otherwise. There is a previous owner's name on the front free end paper, as well as a pencilled price and code, and faint remains of a tiny stamp. The pages are tanned as is common with the war-time quality paper. No marks or soil on the pages, otherwise. The dust jacket is fairly good. It is heavily worn along the fold with tears and holes, but still holding. There is chipping to the corners and spine ends, with a little loss to the word "The" of the title and the publisher's & and the series number. Rear panel and spine are rubbed with some soil. Front flap is not price clipped, but there is a light pencil check beside the name of this book. Now in an archival jacket protector. SHIPPING: Packaged weight will be under 500 grams.
