I just wanted to stash some pictures of my Hardy Boys collection here. You won't find a wealth of information here. There are some great sites for that. One is The Bayport Times.

    Basically, what I'm trying to collect are all the combinations of spines, (white, yellow, wrap or blue PC), dustcover art, (Gretta, Rogers, Scott and the rest), and text, (original or revised). I'm not concentrating on the various covers, (red, brown, grey) or endpaper combinations, (orange or brown Gretta, brown or white multiscene),  small text revisions or changes to PC covers that don't concern the artwork. I am not collecting the Flashlight covers, PCs with the cameo endpapers, Casebooks, foreign, (non-U.S.), editions or library editions.

    I have a few that are for sale. See the For Sale link.

    Also, I have some pics of Mel Martin Series books I have as well as some other baseball series books I have come upon.

    I am interested in buying books I don't have. They must have their dust jackets when applicable.. I am not interested in paying for Mint books. As you can see, my books are hardly that.

    You may contact me at (yazmon@insightbb.com). Sorry for the parenthesis which keep you from directly grabbing my email address. It also keeps bots from grabbing it and cuts down a bit on spam.
