It helps everyone to have greater detail provided.<br /><br />I received a comment on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/jenniferseriesbooks" rel="nofollow">Facebook page</a> in which a reader indicated that he owns Cedar Ridge in the first format with the grayish cover and blank endpapers. I have Cedar Ridge in the later green binding, so it does exist in both versions.Jennifer Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10405593758228423001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157530669780468545.post-73280024672732994182012-09-23T15:40:03.734-05:002012-09-23T15:40:03.734-05:00Grosset & Dunlap had a major format change for...Grosset & Dunlap had a major format change for all of its series books around May of 1932. The familiar change for the Hardy Boys was to go from red cloth with blank endpapers to brown cloth with illustrated endpapers. For Nancy Drew the books are blue in both versions but different but the blank vs. illustrated (orange silhouette) endpapers is the main difference.<br /><br />The Outdoor Girls inquired about looks to be that later format from May 1932 or later. As to whether the 1932 title from the series would exist at all in the early format or simply be very scarce, one needs to consider the copyright release date for the title. In this case The Outdoor Girls in the Air was copyright 16 May 1932 so it should only exist in the later format. The previous volume, Cedar Ridge, came out on 20 May 1931 so it should exist in the format with blank endpapers.<br /><br />Much of this I think you know, Jennifer, but I offer it to provide more detail to your fine answers.<br /><br />Jameskeelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006640946874012637noreply@blogger.com
