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. This is Mystery of the Desert Giant, the 40th title in the Hardy Boys series. This is the picture cover edition, printed in 1965. It is the 9th printing of this title and the artwork on the cover is the only art used for this title. It is done by Rudy Nappi. The endpapers for this book are light brown multipics and the text is the original and only version. This cover is really nice. It has just a speck of white on a couple of corners and the corners of the top and bottom of the spine. The front has an original vendor price sticker. The back has a horizontal scratch in the middle which is unfortunate. It goes about 3/4 of the way across the book. the page ends, pages and endpapers are all very clean and unmarked and the binding is great. H&H calls this book Mystery of the Desert Giant 1965A-9
