About This Item
New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1936. 1st. Decorative Cloth. Collectible; Very Good/Very Good. The 1936 correct 1st edition (Carpentier, Heffelfinger) of this, the 15th title in the original Hardy Boys series. Issue points: This is the 15th and last title listed on the front flap, there are 14 "X Bar X Boy" titles listed on the rear flap and the back panel lists 9 "Great West" titles. A solid, very presentable copy to boot. Tight and VG+ in its light-brown cloth (with no writing or marks of any kind internally) in a bright, price-clipped, VG dustjacket, with very light soiling along the foot of the spine and, inconspicuously, to the inside of the jacket. Thick 12mo, 215 pgs. Frontispiece, endpapers and pastedowns and dustjacket design by J. Clemens Gretter.
Synopsis
The Hardy boys and their father solve a mystery involving inexplicable crashes of highspeed race cars being used to test an experimental turbine motor.
