According to Collecting Nancy Drew: The texts to the Nancy Drew® books come in two versions–original and revised. The first 34 volumes were in original text format–that being 25 chapters and 200 plus pages. Original texts too, included prejudices and stereotyping of the times. Beginning in 1959, the texts were revised over a period of time up until 1977. The revisions have a format of 20 chapters and around 180 pages. The revisions shortened the books and left out a lot of the prejudices and stereotypes from the original text volumes.
I am collecting the original story versions. Dust Jackets would be great but I haven’t found a single copy with one so I’m collecting those without.
I am also collecting Nancy Drew Files and Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Super Mysteries.
