Big win

I hoarded them for years and my eldest daughter didn’t want them because they were old and the language was archaic compared to the new versions. I have high hopes for my youngest.

My oldest daughter loved these books.

kai1ee.bsky.social•21 days ago

She has great taste!

That reminds me to keep an eye out for RICK BRANT ELECTRONIC ADVENTURES!

Great haul. Sadly no Clue in the Clock, but that's too be expected, it's quite rare. : p

taffetamammal.bsky.social•20 days ago

Oh wow I had those too as a kid! Good find

What no Hardy Boys or Jupiter Jones or Ellery Queen to go with Nancy Drew. Read all of them and others before I got hooked on sci-fi and fantasy books.

This is such a cool find!

alchymia16.bsky.social•20 days ago

Those I don't need to find. I have the entire set up to something like 52. You could say I was a fan as a child.

What fun! So happy for you!

They are great books for nostalgia. I weeded two sets of these books from elementary school libraries I’ve worked in. Brand new condition. Just a disconnect for kids. They do like the Babysitters Club graphic novels.

That's the first Nancy Drew story I read... in fourth grade at Silliman Institute. 📖

xwonderland.bsky.social•20 days ago

I remember when my mom told me how she read them as a kid and how I decided that I would too.

I would give anything to have my collection of Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books from my childhood back! That's pure treasure.

I lived in the middle school library devouring Nancy Drew, finding them literally made my whole year and now I’m on a hunt for the rest!

sirstevegootenberg.bsky.social•20 days ago

I lucked out last week and found 15 of the terry pratchett disc world books for a buck a piece!

i have a few in my shelf beside the bed i found in the garbage when our neighbors moved away they threw everything on the ground and the neighbors had to bag it all for the trash people I came home with a pile of books

quayzarr.bsky.social•20 days ago

My first Nancy Drew book was The Hidden Staircase and I was hooked. 👍😁

polecat3066.bsky.social•20 days ago

I used to love those! Had, I think, the entire set available the time I was reading it. They subsequently wrote more.
Great books.

Nice!

yellingattheclouds.bsky.social•21 days ago

Ooh! Hardcover, too! Is it that good paper or that suck-all-the-moisture-from-your-body-via-fingertips paper?

kai1ee.bsky.social•21 days ago

Oh it’s definitely the good stuff! It feels like nostalgia and no responsibilities

yellingattheclouds.bsky.social•21 days ago

Most excellent, my dude! I was born on the cusp of cellphone regularity, so I could actually imagine having to go along with what now would be MANY arduous steps to something simple. Good ol’ 1900s limitations.

khokhoboo.bsky.social•20 days ago

Golden!

hthree.bsky.social•20 days ago

So cool!!

When I was young I used to really enjoy reading The Hardy Boys Mysteries. I also used to watch the Hardy Boys television show. I wish I was back in those days...🙂

romulanlee.bsky.social•20 days ago

One summer in grammar school, I promised myself to read a book a day. The Nancy Drew set covered a lot of those days.

Nancy did seem to get tied up a lot… hmmm…🤔😋

Saw a young gal reading Nancy Drew #1 the other day. Had to smile. She also reads a load of Hardy Boys too

katyann2530.bsky.social•20 days ago

Omg! What a find!! I loved Nancy Drew.

kai1ee.bsky.social•19 days ago

I credit Nancy Drew for my love for reading 💜

torchlake2843.bsky.social•20 days ago

Childhood... a huge box arrived on our front porch. Upon opening, found the entire Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series. Started a love of reading along with The Little House series. Many years later, gave them to my twin nieces. They loved reading them and traded off when done til all were read.🥰

This brings back so many memories!
