Day 82 – VINTAGE NANCY DREW BOOK

My mom loved to read Nancy Drew as a kid. I read them in the era of the yellow hardcovers. I have many of her old Nancy Drew books including this one, The Mystery At Lilac Inn, which has an inscription inside. The book, published in 1931, was given to her on Valentine’s Day 1958 when she was 11 years old. The denim colored cover has this amazing grasscloth texture that was very hard to duplicate with my white pencil. LOTS of lines drawn to create the effect.
