I have noticed that the Penny Parker books come up for sale far less often than they did around 5 to 6 years ago. The dust jackets have become particularly difficult to find. Most of these prices are lower than what I would normally expect to see.

Finally completed my collection of Panny Parkers recently (or so I thought) when I saw a Witch Doll with reverse ads dust jacket! Thought the books came out in 1939, so was confused. Bought it as it was only $14 - even though the dust jacket had problems. In an email to you, you stated you had this and Vanishing Houseboat with the reverse ads too. So are these (dare I say it) rare or at least scarce? Thanks
Since this is a different publisher, the reverse ads were still done years later.
The reverse ads are scarce, as are all very early and first printing Penny Parker books. I'm not sure on the current value, but it is desirable for sure.
