Brass Bound Trunk~Nancy Drew~Applewood~First Edition~Scarce w DJ~Pristine

Description: Up for your pleasure is a facsimile edition of Nancy Drew’s No. 17 “The Mystery of the Brass Bound Trunk by Carolyn Keene. Penned originally in 1940 by Millie Wirt Benson (the real Nancy Drew), Applewoods are reprints based on the original usually complete with some glossy internal done by artist Russell Tandy. This particular copy is quite hard-to-find, First Edition Applewood-certainly among the hardest to find. The dust jacket’s art was painted by gifted children’s books artist Russell Tandy. These are my favorite Nancy Drew books as I certainly appreciate their beauty. The Applewoods are quite popular and are a good investment precisely because they are so lovely. The book and its dust jacket are in gorgeous near pristine condition with no obvious wear to the cover and spine of the book. I doubt that this book has ever been read. The number line ends with 1, indicative of a first edition. On the front flap this title is in the last spot. There is an internal list which also ends with “Brass Bound Trunk". There is an attractive mylar cover which serves to enhance the dust jacket; it is not affixed and can be readily removed if you so desire. To bottom-line it: I don't sell things I wouldn't want. Condition is quite important for a collection. And I'll also tell you exactly what you are getting. I have given away the lesser copies as high-interest reading books for schools. I like to give out freebies. I appreciate anyone nice enough to send me their hard-earned money. I truly enjoy helping out new collectors and gabbing about books. Of course I'll combine shipping, please contact me. Check back. I'm in the process of listing lots of Nancys.Thank you!
