I always send the books protected by cardboard so that they will not be damaged in the mail. I have bought "brand new" books from sellers who send the book with no protection other than a plastic envelope not much thicker than Saran Wrap. Even if the book were new before being mailed, it was no longer in anywhere near new condition when I received it.
I do not claim that the books are new or mint but they are complete, readable copies featuring the original text--unless otherwise described--they may have dirt, bumps, or minor stains, especially on the edges, or maybe some light folds on a few pages, tanning, etc. The tweed books are at least 60+ years old because 1962 is when the picture books were first released as a less expensive replacement for the tweeds with dustjackets. Pictures show the actual books for sale that were available at the time of this listing but see below for an updated list of what is currently available.
Currently available for Hardy Boys are Volumes 1 (revised) 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, (11 UK ed.) 17, 20, 21, 24, 26, 30, 33, 34 (tan hrdcvr).

I have the books listed above in stock and will not substitute a different binding or series. If you order a Dana Girls tweed Volume 3, then you will receive a tweed copy of Dana Girls #3. Please explicitly state which volume and series you want in the message to seller during checkout (see last few photos of screenshots). If you want a random book, then please write random book.
To get free shipping on additional single books, type the total number of copies in the "quantity" box and then click "add to cart" (see first screenshot photo).
From the shopping cart, click on "add message to seller" (see 2nd screenshot photo). Next, tell me what volumes and the series you desire: something like "1 copy each of Dana Girls #3, 11, & 22" in the message to seller during checkout (see 3rd screenshot photo). After you finish typing the message, make sure that you click the "Add" button below the message box. If you do not click "Add," the message will display om your screen but will not be transmitted to me. You can always send a message using the contact seller feature.
If, for some reason, you opt to make separate purchases for each book, the free shipping for additional copies does not apply. If for some reason you forget to tell me what book you want and do not respond to my question, I will assume that you wish to cancel your order.
I ship immediately; shipping includes a tracking number. Books are shipped protected by cardboard and/or bubblewrap. In order to comply with eBay's requirements for shipping within an advertised shipping time, I cannot wait three days for you to respond or to clarify any questions.
