Oh we're BIG Hardy Boys fans around here! Just ask Rosie!

We're currently reading "The Great Airport Mystery". Now, this is not the re-done 1960s versions of the books...these are PHOTOCOPIES of the 1930 version! Put out by Applewood Press. I love them! They talk about now new and novel airplanes are and about Prohibition like it's a current event.

I get a kick out of them because even the ads are reprints! Tells you "Don't throw away the wrapper!" Because on the inside it tells you how to order more books!

Except it doesn't. Because it's from 1927 or so.

That's neat that you get to read the photocopies with the original ads! I find the ads of old magazines and comics can be half the fun :)
