I have decided to offer, in partnership with Amazon.com, the opportunity to purchase Nancy Drew titles. You have all the advantages of a large on-line bookstore (gift wrapping, secure transactions, etc.) with the advantage of reading my reviews :) and of seeing the books listed by series in an easily accessible manner. Most books are sold at a 10 percent discount from the publisher's price, and all are sold with the Amazon.com money-back guarantee. The books are shipped priority mail.
The older copyright dates are available through Applewood publishing and include original illustrations. Later titles are available through Simon & Schuster in paperback.
