Judy Bolton paperbacks,
By
This review is from: Judy Bolton Set (# 1-5) (Judy Bolton Mysteries) (Paperback)
These new Judy Bolton larger-size paperbacks from Applewood are excellent quality, laser copied from first editions supplied by the author's family. The first 10 have 3 internal illustrations plus the frontis, beautiful artwork by Pelagie Doane. The covers are all from the first edition dust jackets or picture covers for later editions. The Haunted Attic is laser copied from the very rare first edition that mentions Judy's birthday in the Halloween party invitation. Enjoy!
