Dana Girls - The Haunted Lagoon
(FYI: There is glare on the dust jacket Mylar protector that shows in the scan--white streaks--this is not on the dust jacket, just scanner glare!)
There isn't a Dana Girls guide out there, however from my own expertise with Nancy Drew I can say with some certainty this is either a first printing or very early
printing. The last book to be printed with a dust jacket was Sierra Gold #23. This is book #21.
The Haunted Lagoon by Carolyn Keene, author of Nancy Drew mysteries and a pseudonym for various authors over the years. Copyright is 1959.
Dust jacket is protected in a Mylar cover. Has edgewear/chipping/tears as shown above--most at ends of spine. Some cover rubbing. Front flap is synopsis of this
book, back flap lists to this title, back of the dust jacket lists to Nancy Drew Golden Pavilion. Dust jacket is in fairly good shape for its age.
Book is the green tweed style. Spine is cocked. Some edgewear/rubbing to extremities. Name inside on blank page, binding good, clean. Endpapers are green
spooky eps. Inside lists to this title and also Nancy Drew Golden Pavilion, a book also published in 1959.
