A wonderful collector's item for Nancy Drew fans!
I'm a 37 year old mother of one and a long-time fan of Nancy Drew. I remember my mother taking me to used bookstores so I could buy inexpensive books back when I was 8 years old and I happened to stumble upon some Nancy Drew hardbacks. The love affair has never ended! I love all the original titles and this book is the icing on the cake. It is beautifully bound and contains anecdotes of Nancy Drew's sleuthing adventures, in the form of journal entries. This is spiced up with beautiful illustrations of the front cover of Nancy's earlier adventures, i.e. The Secret of the Old Clock, The Hidden Staircase, The Mystery at Lilac Inn, The Clue in the Diary, The Clue of the Broken Locket, The Secret in the Old Attic, The Ghost of Blackwood Hall, The Mystery at the Ski Jump, The Scarlet Slipper Mystery, The Mystery of the 99 Steps, The Invisible Intruder, The Strange Message in the Parchment, and The Thirteenth Pearl. Also, there are little 'treasures' to unearth such as ticket stubs, letters, maps, etc. There is also a special page that focusses on Nancy Drew through the decades - how her fashion changed over time and at the end of the book is an envelope containing 13 collectible postcards of the covers of the earlier books.

All in all, this is a wonderful book for young and old fans alike. Also, a great companion book to this for older readers] would be Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her by Melanie Rehak.Highly recommended.

Beautiful Keepsake for Nancy Drew Fans
This well-designed colorful book is a wonderful companion piece to the Nancy Drew series. My twelve-year-old neice saw this in a store and immediately loved it. I bought it from Amazon for her birthday because as always Amazon books are in perfect condition, whereas at a store they were not, especially because of the nature of this book. This book has many little windows to open, ribbons to untie, and papers to take out of pockets. It is nice because it makes the reader feel like they are actively participating in the mysteries. Each two page spread covers one of the Nancy Drew books and shows the book it covers in the top left corner. It's nice for the reader to remember the story while they look at the book inserts. I wish they had this book when I was a kid reading Nancy Drew!

Not for the classroom...
I am a 7th grade Reading teacher, and I found lesson plans using this book for comparing/contrasting. I ordered the book without seeing it. When it arrived, I realized it wouldn't work for the classroom. It has lots of fold-outs, pockets with letters in them, etc. It is not something you can really copy, which makes it hard to use in a classroom with 20 kids.

It is a really cool book, and I would recommend it for anyone with a young girl. There is tons to look at, and it is cool to compare and contrast her mysteries over the years.
