About Dustjackets: The dustjacket offered in this auction is digitally scanned from a high quality original. The master is then carefully restored to remove any minor imperfections. This significantly enhances the eye appeal rather than just offering a color photocopy with flaws. Great care is taken to painstakingly retouch these images with emphasis on maintaining the full scope of the original artwork and preserving the texture and granularity of the original. The dustjacket is then printed on an industrial quality machine which far exceeds the image quality possible on any inkjet printer, and produces sharper, crisper images and much better color definition (tone, hue & saturation) with pleasing results. About Title: Here is another exciting mystery tale, Frank and Joe Hardy and their chums must outwit criminals at every turn. In this volume, two of the Hardy Boys' chums take a motor trip down the coast. They disappear and are almost rescued by their chums when all are captured. A thrilling story of adventure. About Formats:: The original Hardy Boys series comprised 40 volumes issued in dustjackets from 1927 to 1961. In 1962, beginning with volume #41, the books were issued in picture cover editions [no dustjackets]. There are a few format changes which are useful to collectors in identifying Hardy Boys printings: Binding color: Red (1-11) 1927-32; Thick Brown (1-21) 1932-41 White Spine Dustjackets: 1-12; Thick Yellow Spine Dustjackets 1-21 About Author: Franklin Dixon was a pseudonym used by the Stratemeyer Syndicate for The Hardy Boys and the Ted Scott Flying Adventures. The early Hardy Boys books were actually written by Canadian journalist Leslie McFarlane. McFarlane wrote the first 17 Hardy Boys titles, plus 5 additional titles up to The Phantom Freighter (1947).
