This version is differentiated by a light pink spine (often faded).  Earlier copies had a red band around the entire pink spine, but later copies no longer have the red on the sides (probably due to the thinner books).

Most of these titles have the Marie Schubert artwork in it-- a dramtic difference from the earlier "soft", sentimental Walter S. Rogers artwork.  Several of the Syndicate series' were having updated artwork (most replacing Walter S. Rogers, it seems), in a much more modern, 1930s style (such as Nat Falk for Don Sturdy, Gretta for the Hardy Boys, and Marie Schubert also for the Honey Bunch series.  And '30s series such as Hal Keen had very exciting, modern artwork by Bert Salg--gone was the sentimental artwork!).

Any blank spots below are copies that I do not have in my collection--they probably do exist in this format though.  I don't know what the last title to be printed in this format is yet, but eventually I will find out  =)

The earliest versions of this format retained the 1930s endpaper, but most were poorly printed with little detail left on some parts. This one is one of the better copies of the endpaper.

The earlier copies in this format did retain glossy frontis pictures, but most seem to be thinner copies, with illustrations on regular stock.
