Hardy Boys #40 Mystery of the Desert Giant Franklin W Dixon PC Library Edition. Hardy Boys #40, Mystery of the Desert Giant, by Franklin W Dixon. Hardy Boys #40, Mystery of the Desert Giant, by Franklin W Dixon Copyright 1961, matte picture‑cover (PC) library binding, white "outer endpapers" and black-and-white multi‑scene "inner endpapers", 20 chapters, and 182 pages. This is a late‑1970s library‑issue PC variant featuring lighter blue spine and back cover, a sturdier library‑grade binding, additional blank endpapers, and an alternate mostly blank back‑cover design. The book is in near fine condition. The lighter, mostly blank, back cover shows some staining, likely from contact with another book. Corners and edges remain sharp with only small areas of whitening. Page edges show speckles. Interior pages are clean and intact, and the binding is still stiff, suggesting the book was likely never read. Please see photos for details. A near‑fine example of this uncommon library‑edition picture‑cover printing.
