These books should not be confused with the set of 10 Nancy Drew Files books that were issued in a large format hardcover edition by Grey Castle Press. Some of you will be surprised to learn that I have no interest in the books issued by Grey Castle Press. I dislike books that are much larger than other similar books. For the same reason, I do not collect some international edition Nancy Drew books that are quite large in format. It's just an oddity I have. Each of us has certain odd habits with respect to collecting, and often those odd habits make no sense to anyone else.
I want my Nancy Drew Files hardcover books to be the same size as the paperback books, so I have to go with the books rebound as hardcover books.
I recently added six hardcover Nancy Drew Files books to my set.
The books are in rough shape with lots of wear and tear. My purpose when collecting library editions is simply to get a copy of each book. I have to accept many books in rough shape. When collecting library editions, one must expect a significant percentage of the books to be in rough shape.
I now have 54 of the 124 Nancy Drew Files books in hardcover.

Wow! I love this.
Hi Jennifer! I was wondering how you are able to find these versions? As in what do you type into the search bar? I am having no luck, so I figure I am doing something wrong.
These days I usually just watch for them in a regular search for "Nancy Drew." Most sellers won't know to put anything more specific. You can try including "library" in with your search terms. Sometimes that can help you find library bindings. It's really hit-or-miss in whether you can spot any. You can go a long time without any surfacing, and then you'll get lucky and find a nice bulk lot. I hope you have some good luck in the near future!
