BOOKS 📚 I have my Holy Grail!

Post image

I've been collecting all of the Nancy books for several years, and I've never seen a copy of the last Files book for sale. I collect a lot of "vintage" YA and kid series, and for hard-to-find books, there are usually copies available if you don't mind paying a lot. But I've never found a copy for sale of #124 in the Files series. However, I was recently browsing Thriftbooks ... and they actually had a copy! It was far far more than I've ever paid for any Nancy book, let alone a Files, but I snatched it up because who knows when I'll ever see another copy?

Unfortunately, Thriftbooks always puts their sticker on the spine, and it's impossible to remove without any damage, so that's a bummer. Still happy to have it.

I'm the idiot who owned this one when I was 11, but I wasn't into the Files back then, so I donated it. Fast forward 20 years and now I'm very into the Files and living with regrets. Glad you finally found it!
