From the wonderful The Hardy Boys book series written by Franklin W. Dixon and published by Grosset & Dunlap. This is book #2, 'The House on the Cliff'. 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 edition of this book, and has a copyright date of 1959 and tan/brown/white pictorial inner cover pages. Book measures 5 1/8 x 7 5/8 inches. We have one other copy of this book with slightly different cover heading/condition 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 #2 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 #2 book is acceptable. It has been read or used and is not mint. While overall very readable, we need to note that with this book, while all pages are there, the outer edge binding on the inside has been pulled away from much of the book, likely from having been opened too far when being read. Pages are still all attached to each other, but in two separate groupings (start through 32, then 33 through the end), with each grouping attached to it's associated front inner or back inner cover. There is also 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 unexpected. The inside is nice and clean except for the break between pages 32 and 33 previously stated.
