Vtg Hardy Boys Series Lot of 38 Books Blue Matte Hardcover 1959-75 READ

This is a lot of vintage Hardy Boys hardcover books. These were published between the years 1959-1975. Book numbers included are: 1-6,9,11,14-15,17,19-23,27,29-32,34-37,39-43,45-46,48-49,51-54. Many of these books have been splashed with what looks like wood stain, that’s the only thing that comes to mind when I see the spots. There is NO smell. They only smell faintly of that good old book smell! The staining is mostly on the outside, though some of the bottom end pages have some and it barely leeched onto the bottom of the page. Most of the books are pristine inside! All bindings are strong and seem unused. I’ve included photos of the worst of the staining. Also, the first two books had some additional “artwork” done by a child way back when! Please feel free to ask questions or request photos!
