Gray Book Values and Volumes 1 to 25, Kay Tracey Mystery Stories, Kay Tracey Book values Volumes 1 to 18, Penny Parker Mystery Stories, and Penny Parker Books values Volumes 1 to 17.
Amazon review
from A reader from Waterford, NY USA - The title of this book may mislead some readers to believe that it covers many girls' series books, when in reality it covers only the following: Nancy Drew, Judy
Bolton, Kay Tracey, Beverly Gray, Penny Parker, and Ruth Fielding. (The subtitle of the book indicates that these series are featured, but it is still not necessarily clear that they are the only series
in the book.) That being said, this book is clearly a labor of love by a person who knows what he's talking about. There is intelligent discussion on collecting books, cleaning old books, estimating
values, and different formats.
And then... the pictures. This book includes full color photographs of all the book covers in their various incarnations. For instance, on one page are placed the
FOUR different covers for Nancy Drew's "The Clue of the Broken Locket." It's fun to see how the covers evolved over the years, and the author offers much historical information about the cover
artists, the Stratemeyer Syndicate in general, and the various editions in which the books have been offered. The other series mentioned above are treated in a similar manner. Overall this is an
attractively designed book that can give pleasure whether you browse leisurely or read closely. Enjoy!

First Editions: A Guide to Identification by Edward N Zempel (Editor)
|
|
|
From Library Journal: Book collectors seek first editions, but many publishers provide little assistance in this quest. Even when they do designate edition and/or printing,
they do not all use the same system. Thus, Harper & Row deletes numbers in successive reprints; Harcourt Brace Jovanovich adds letters. Some publishers denote edition or printing on the copyright
page with the last number on the right, others with the first number on the left; still others note only second and later editions. Hence, this book is indispensable to collectors and libraries serving
them. Zempel and Verkler have collected statements from some 1700 20th-century publishers of English-language books--about 700 more than in their 1984 edition--indicating current practices and earlier
methods as far back as 1928. The guide also helps track down acquisitions and publishers' name changes. A worthy additions to most collections.
