r/NancyDrewBooks

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

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.
