Hardy Boys #6 The Shore Road Mystery 1941 printing, 1st yellow spine dust jacket

Description: I am selling my entire collection of Hardy Boys book as well as some other books in my collection. The Hardy Boys collection consists of over 220 different books and 1 or 2 duplicates. The collection includes early books from the 1920s through the later picture cover books of the 60's and 70's and all in between. There are 1st editions, harder to find variations and examples of all the different dust jacket art, spine types, book boards and end papers and even story revisions. Information on each book that I provide comes mostly from the fine guide, Hardy and Hardy Investigations 6th edition by Tony Carpentieri and Paul Mular. If you are looking for a certain book for your collection or just readers for your kids or grandkids, check my listing periodically because it will take some time to get all these listed and I will do it randomly. All my jacketed books are protected by Mylar, done by me or a previous owner. I'll combine shipping if requested.Note: Since I originally listed these books, I have sold about 160 of them. I thank all those that have bought from me and hope you are pleased with your purchases. I still have 60 or so books and will continue to list them. A great number of the first editions, variations and harder to find books are now gone, but there are still white, yellow and wrap spine books as well as a good number of PC's with both original and revised text available. Thank you all for looking. The Shore Road Mystery is the 6th title in the Hardy Boys series. This copy was printed in 1941 and is the 23rd printing of this title. It is the 1st yellow spine dust jacket to be used for this title. It is illustrated by W S Rogers, who also did the frontispiece artwork. The book is brown with dark brown lettering and the endpapers are orange Gretta, (J Clemens Gretta). The dust jacket has vertical edgewear on both sides of the spine and on the front edge. There is lesser wear on the top and bottom of the cover. The spine has a large 1" square paper loss at the bottom and smaller but significant paper loss at the top. Also of note are creases on the front cover. The book is mostly very nice with gloss but there is a lot of fraying at the top of the spine and some along the top of the back board. The endpapers look ok but Alfred P. Deal Jr. stamped his name on both the front and back EP's. Also, in the front, our friendly bookseller wanted to sell this book for 50. (dollars? cents?) H&H designates this book as The Shore Road Mystery 1941A-23
