Hardy Boys #25 Secret Panel 1st ed, 1st ptg w/dj

Title: The Secret Panel.
Author: Dixon, Franklin W.
Description: 212, [2], [2] ad pp. Frontispiece by Russell H. Tandy. 7¼x4¾, brown cloth with dark brown silhouette and lettering, color pictorial jacket. First Edition, First Printing.First printing points: Jacket rear cover lists 30 titles in the Air Combat Stories series, and the volume's cover stock has a different texture than the second printing. It is described as slightly raised rows of horizontally connected plus signs. Rare to find a copy like this one, most first printings bashed up the left side of page 50, and to have an unblemished page (look at the first word of line 22 and 23, an unblemished "s" in stake and "o" in one) is uncommon. Carpentieri & Mular p.345 (5th).
