From the wonderful The Hardy Boys book series written by Franklin W. Dixon and published by Grosset & Dunlap. This is book #14, 'The Hidden Harbor Mystery'. It has the desirable 'blue binding' (turquoise blue), and is a hardcover edition without dust jacket (as sold). We believe this to be a 1960s/1970s edition of this book, and has a copyright date of 1961 and white with black line pictorial inner cover pages. Book measures 5 1/8 x 7 5/8 inches. We have a second copy of this book with a slightly different cover heading which we are listing as "B".

We actually are listing many others of these hard cover "blue binding" Hardy Boys books (including multiple copies of some books). The books appear to come from different editions of this set, based on slight differences in their covers. The books are all being sold separately; you can buy the one you need to complete your collection, or several to start one!

This #14 book is an updated version of the original 1920s issues. On the back of the title page it states, "In this new story, based on the original of the same title, Mr. Dixon has incorporated the most up-to-date methods used by police and private detectives."

The condition of this #14 book is very good. It has been read or used and is not mint, but still in good shape. There is edge wear and corner bumping or wear on the outside covers, and other small dirt, wear spots or rubbing including slight dirt/darkening on the outer edge pages, but nothing bad or unexpected. The inside is nice and clean (we did note a light spot on one page). A highly usable, nice reading copy.
