A1st of this title has a white spine DJ, red binding and blank ep's.
Orange ep's started c. 1933.
An easy and fairly accurate guide to knowing what year a Hardy Boys book was
published is to check what the latest title listed inside or on the DJ is.
Check my Hardy Boys FAQ page for reference books for identifying Hardy Boys
editions.
