ATTENTION COLLECTORS: These two Trixie Belden books have matte covers. I bought them used. I don't know how old they are, how long ago I bought them or where I bought them. The books were published by Whitman Publishing and Golden Press, and say copyright 1950 and 1965. The previous owner's name has been written in both books and she has circled the ones on the titles list that she has read. Other than that, there is no writing in either book. The books have no smells, odours or stains. Up for sale are #s 2 and 3 in the series, the Red Trailer Mystery and the Gatehouse Mystery. #2, published by Whitman Publishing, has some damage to the end papers (green) at the back, and the front end papers have split at the join, about half way down. #3, published by Golden Press, has end papers (blue) in good condition, but the inside of the book has partially split at the join between pages 138 and 139. I have shown these flaws in the photos. Buy either one of these books for the price shown. Pick up in Wascana View, Regina, SK. Due to current conditions, I accept Interac e-Transfer only, no cash, and pickup will be outdoors.
