Nancy Drew Library Bound editions tend to bring back a lot of memories to those who checked out a little something
different each time they went to the library. A little something different from the usual books in picture cover format,
that is.
The library bound editions, while sometimes a little grubby, sometimes a little worn, and sometimes a little used, are
well-read and well loved and treasured by many a child and adult who
have checked them out over the years!
I have been collecting the library editions for a couple of years now and really enjoy them--even the dingey grubby ones!
I can remember back when I was in elementary school and we had a small but substantial little school library.
During various class activities or guest speakers, we would have to go to the library and gather in a circle in this open
area that had shelves bordering it. I can remember always sitting by the Nancy Drews, which I loved so much. I often
wonder how much
time I spent paying attention to what was going on around me as I was peeking into the various volumes on the shelf and
perhaps even daring to read one lest I be caught by my teacher!
The following editions are those that I have come across in my collecting. As always, if you have a scan of a book that I
do not have pictured here or of a type of binding I do not have a section for,
please send a scan--I'll credit it as being a part of your collection!
