OK – This is a special item. Trixie Belden, Ginny Gordon, Donna Parker, Meg Duncan and Trudy Phillips. Boys’ series included the Walton Boys, Power Boys, and Troy Nesbit mysteries. And, Brains Benton, my favorite series. I bought a number of different ones, including Power Boys and the Troy Nesbit books. You also get, as you can see in the frame, the clear plastic on which the name of the book was painted separately. This was set on top of the art when it was prepared for reproduction. Notice some smearing on this, BTW. It was like that when I got it, and doesn’t really affect anything IMO. Also included are – and I don’t know the right words here – the boards that the the cover was mocked up on to guide the printer. That’s the black and white stuff below. I also photographed the back of that. The figures are identically rendered on the cover and in the book, so I suspect it is the same hand. It is authentic, and finely painted at that. Not a painter guy.. The book I show a photo of isn’t part of the deal – that is my childhood copy of the book just for reference.
