We All Love This Book At My House

I got this book for my birthday, and then found out that I am not the only woman who has read 50 odd Nancy Drew books. . .my daughter, my students, my neighbors all confess . . . everyone loves Nancy Drew, and consequently, loves this book. We've set up a "Detective Cabinet" with spy-glasses and flashlights so that we can solve such common dilemmas as "The Mystery of the Missing House Keys" and "The Secret of the Laundry Room", now that we've been reminded of how problems are solved in River Heights. This book is sheer inspiration . . . a MUST read.

Nancy Drew mini book

I got this as a gift, and I love it!! It is a cute miniature book filled with sayings from Nancy Drew books. They are all spunky sayings, just like Nancy Drew. Overall, it is a great gift for any Nancy Drew fan.

this book is awesome!

Nancy Drew's Guide to life is a MUST HAVE for every Nancy Drew fan!! There are some serious things in it, and then there are some absolutely outrageuos tips and advice. I love this book! It is really fun to read and its hilarious! Love Nancy Drew? You'll love this. Like her a little? You'll love it even more.

Girl Power!

This is a must-own, and it's a great gift for your girlfriends. I used to own every Nancy Drew book, and her adventures--and her grown up teenager sophistication--came to mind on many occasions while growing up. How great to see some of them again in this new form!

Great fun for Nancy Drew fans/nostalgic 30 or 40 somethings!

This miniature book makes the PERFECT stocking stuffer or small gift for any Nancy Drew fan, or anybody who read Nancy Drew growing up, even if they haven't kept that interest in later life. It gets 5 stars just for the nostalgia value, and I love the way it makes gentle, affectionate fun of the girl genius who could do everything (paint like Picasso, ski like a pro, sing, dance, act, ride horses like a champion.....oh, and I guess she was a detective, too!). The book, complete with a hanging magnifying glass bookmark on an attached ribbon, is divided into sections: Survival Strategies, Dating: A Primer, Sleuthing 101, The Delicate Art of Etiquette, Wilderness Tips, On Being a Lady, Powers of Observation, and Accoutrements. Many of the book covers and interior illustrations we remember are reproduced throughout, and the text consists of tips and the titles of the book the tip comes from. As a single example, here's my personal favorite: "If you see something resembling a shark in a river, don't fret. It's more likely to be a small submarine operated by thieves." -- The Mystery of Lilac Inn. I never in a million years would have remembered that on my own, but it all comes back when you read this little gem! What fun!
