Looks like they tried to pick the 3 or 4 worst fonts the could find too, it might be more consistent looking to get a kindergarten kid to write out the title

As they go public domain, there will undoubtedly be crappy versions published, but there will also be some nice ones, like this one from Passage Press.





As the Hardy Boys go the way of Sherlock Holmes, there will also be pastiches of varying quality. It will be fun separating the wheat from the chaff.

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.

Those are some of the best Hardy Boys covers I've seen in a long time.

Alex Whelan was the artist.

My only criticism is that The Tower Treasure is a spoiler. The Secret of the Old Mill is my favorite.

Those are very nice, that's my favourite ever #3, it's reminiscent of the original dust jacket

What kind of land formation is a Clkft anyway?
