The Saalfield reprints

These reprints are from around 1935-1940.  They came in 2 heights, and used the same artwork for all three books printed.  The covers were also printed in several colors.

Saalfield boxed set

This is a truly scarce, if not rare, set.  But almost no demand (if any) for it.  Even I'm not really interested in buying it!  =)  Saalfield released several series' in boxed sets, and they are all rather difficult to find.  These pictures came from an eBay auction.

Later Saalfield reprints

Saalfield reprinted just the first book in this format, in both hardcover and paperback.

The hardcover version

This shows the endpaper design of the hardcover, Oddly enough, the endpaper was *not* ripped out of this copy--all the hardcover copies only had one side of the patterned endpapers.

The paperback cover (it's cropped on the sides in this scan, but is very similiar in width to the hardcover to the left)
