Most of these books that have turned up have an internal post-text
listing or order form for the Nancy Drew® books listing to volumes 52 or 54, so I would date these particular
editions to about the mid-70's. These all appear to have the Rudy Nappi cover art and revised texts for those #34 and
below and of course original texts for #35 and up. All have the White Multi II endpapers.
Later than the mid-70s, an edition of a yellow spine picture cover Thirteenth Pearl has shown up with the half
circle symbol on the back cover. These are hard to find.
The Grosset & Dunlap Pc Library Editions are very
similar to the regular yellow spine pc editions. They have light purple or lilac colored
spines and back covers instead of the familiar yellow color. Even recently, I have
noted some variations in the lilac color--to where the back cover is a lilac color
but the spine appears to be more light blue than lilac--but this has not been a
widespread variation that I have observed. On the back at the bottom of the cover, off-center, is a half circle symbol
denoting these volumes as a library edition.
