I'm not absolutely sure. They were the blue-backed books that look like the ones in your picture.<br /><br />For some reason we left those books in our old house when we moved when I was about 13 years old. I surely would like to have them back.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664642293286996220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-84688489501305029822010-01-12T07:04:42.434-08:002010-01-12T07:04:42.434-08:00Oh, Carrie!

I never owned it, but would check it out of the library for weeks at a time, renewal after renewal, until I was forced to return it. I was determined to be a successful amateur detective...and was saddened when no really good mysteries came my way in real life. :)<br /><br />Also - fantastic finds at the used bookstore!Katrina @ Callapidder Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502432103160398620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-69651415684693652012010-01-11T18:46:15.203-08:002010-01-11T18:46:15.203-08:00I have my own post set to run in the morning, but ...I have my own post set to run in the morning, but it ISN'T about Nancy Drew. ;-)<br /><br />I find it interesting that the '30s volumes are different from the '50s ones. I'd like to read them myself to see how they're changed.<br /><br />What a neat find to get all of those books on the cheap! Love the radio, too! :-)Amy @ Hope Is the Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949836482747469686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-43255702129895403262010-01-11T06:37:56.797-08:002010-01-11T06:37:56.797-08:00My "reward" for running interminable err...My "reward" for running interminable errands with my mom (which i understood SO much better after i became a mom) was a Nancy Drew mystery book. Usually, i had it mostly read by the time we got home again. (such a book geek.)<br /><br />I too have started collecting the oldest ones when i can find them at the thrift stores. <br /><br />Just amazing that you're a generation younger and also read Trixie Belden! Nobody i know has heard of her. I felt part of her family. <br /><br />But for me, of course, the Cherry Ames books, about a student nurse and her subsequent career escapades (she solved mysteries, too) were the best. I found them originally on my aunt's bookshelf, and eventually devoured all of those, too. I think they had a big influence on my nascent desire to be a nurse.tmunoreply@blogger.com
