About Dustjackets: The dustjacket offered in this auction is digitally scanned from a high quality original at 600 DPI. The master is then carefully restored to remove any minor imperfections. This significantly enhances the eye appeal rather than just offering a color photocopy with flaws. Great care is taken to painstakingly retouch these images with emphasis on maintaining the full scope of the original artwork and preserving the texture and granularity of the original. The dustjacket is then printed on an industrial quality machine using premium paper to ensure the best quality possible ... this results in sharper, crisper images and much better color definition (tone, hue & saturation) than typically seen with pleasing results. About Title: An unexpected visit by Nathan Gombet of Cliffwood opens another mystery where Nancy comes to the aid of two elderly sisters, Rosemary and Floretta Turnbull who suspect that their house is haunted. In seeking to solve the mysterious happenings in their old stone mansion Nancy uses her courage and powers of deduction and tackles a situation that would have appalled a far older person. About Formats:: The original Nancy Drew series comprised 38 volumes issued in dustjackets from 1930 to 1961. In 1962, beginning with volume #39, the books were issued in picture cover editions [no dustjackets]. There are a few format changes which are useful to collectors in identifying Nancy Drew printings: Binding color: Blue (1-7) 1930-32; Blue w/ Orange Silhouette (1-23) 1932-46 White Spine Dustjackets (1-18): 1930-41; White Spine Dustjackets w/ Silhouette (1-22): 1941-45 About Author: Carolyn Keene was a pseudonym used by the Stratemeyer Syndicate for the Nancy Drew and the Dana Girls series. The early Nancy Drew books were actually written by journalist Mildred Wirt. Wirt wrote the first 7 Nancy Drew titles, plus additional titles from vol. 11 to 25 and vol.30.
