I collect Nancy Drew books. First published in 1930, they have been re-issued many times--I collect the ones I read as a child, printed with the familiar yellow spines between 1962 - 1986 by Grosset & Dunlap. I've created a guide with all of the Nancy Drew editions published by Grosset & Dunlap between 1930 - 1986 with an emphasis on the cover to allow people to more easily identify the edition they have. Please let me know if you find any errors! Please note that this spreadsheet is best viewed on a computer or tablet--it's not mobile-friendly.
