1973 1st ed Alfred Hitchcock's Three Investigators "The Secret of Phantom Lake" First Edition

"The Secret of Phantom Lake", featuring Alfred Hitchcok's Three Investigators, book #19 in the series, published in 1973 by Random House.

First edition, first printing.

We are able to deduce this as a first printing because the back cover lists this title along with "The Mystery of Monster Mountain" as the last to exist in the series at the time of printing. Further, the title list at the end of the book lists only books #17-20. The fan / collectors site ThreeInvestigatorsBooks notes that these points place this as a true first edition.

This is a "very good -" book or a bit better. It has edge wear at the board corners and the spine, with a fair amount of wear at the spine tail. The gutters are tight, text block is square, some light spotting and minor scuffs in edges of block. There is a young owner's pencil inscription on the verso of the front free end paper along with a name and date in the same hand on the half-title. Pictorial covers and spine are uniform in color, not faded. Not a perfect book, but still very pleasant and in collectible condition!

Will make a great gift for the Three Investigators fan on your list.
