Found her books!!

I'm from Brazil and i had basically given up on finding any Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys books here because they were out of print since the 90s 💀 but yesterday i was at a book store and I found this! Apparently Harper Collins (that owns the book rights here) decided to re print the first ones !!

I didn't get them (yet!) because I'm short on money but I cannot wait to be able to read them <3 fingers crossed they sell well and they decide to keep this up for the sequels

Here is a download for The Mystery of the Fire Dragon, the only post-1930 Nancy Drew book that is public domain due to no renewal of copyright.

Ik the first four books became free this year, but I heard three non renewed ones are also included, two revised and one original series book which fell out of copyright in the 1980s due to pre-1964 renewal requirements for works or else they would enter the public domain after 28 years. So here is a download to the ebook.

My Nancy Drew Files collection

I keep all of my other Nancy books in boxes because I don't have space currently to display them on shelves, but I do have all of my Files out since they fit perfectly in this little bookcase, so thought I'd share a few pics after a few people have asked. (Lighting is bad, sorry, it's in a dark basement corner.) Eventually my goal is to have two copies of each book so that I can have a nice display copy and a copy to actually read. Originally I only kept one copy but I found out the hard way that the glue on these older paperbacks can become brittle and crack, causing a seemingly pristine-looking book to fall apart. I have three copies of Whitewater Terror because it's my favorite Files, and a third copy of Trial by Fire because it's a UK edition and I couldn't resist picking it up since I had never seen any of those here in the US.

I am still mad that they kept changing the spines late in the series. Look at that gorgeous uniformity until you get to the last shelf.

I used to have my Nancy Drew / Hardy Boys Super Mysteries in this same bookcase, but I ran out of room and had to go put those in a box.

My Nancy Drew story started in Portugal when I read the Portuguese version of “Double Horror of Fenley Place.” Only 6 books were published in Portugal with the name changed to Diana D. Fun fact: George was changed to be a boy by the name of João Lima.

In order of the photos:

  1. The Case of the Rising Stars

  2. The Kachina Doll Mystery

  3. The Bluebeard Room

  4. The Case of the Disappearing Deejay

  5. The Girl Who Couldn’t Remember

  6. The Double Horror of Fenley Place
