Those are the books that are in my collection!! I sought those out. Why?? Because they were published in the early 1970's and I imagine Trixie and her friends as being firmly rooted in the early 1970's!! The 1970's - 1980's are my favorite era!! Bryan W.

That's not the scruffy country Trixie! I have that exact cover for the short and ugly version of #3 and as a kid I would stare at it and think that despite how I loved the book, the cover was creepy to the max. Her skin is NOT human coloured! But I understand the pictures. They've kind of montaged 2 scenes - one of trixie, and one of the scene where it she waskes up and its pitch black and she hears something.<br />I've always thought the cameo versions looked nicest, but apparently they're really bad quality.Connoisseuresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546346288580791980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887611976174504593.post-544706609472097162009-05-30T15:14:15.659-05:002009-05-30T15:14:15.659-05:00Well, they are only supposed to be about 13 years ...Well, they are only supposed to be about 13 years old. I didn't know the deluxes had color illustrations- that is cool! <br /><br />I like the new covers well enough, and I'm pleased that they took time to photograph new covers that actually line up with what is in the books, more or less. But that girl does NOT look like my vision of Honey at all.

I'm Eyeofthebholder at The Clubhouse. I did want to make a comment on the deluxes being "plain and a bit ugly". They're really not. They're the only edition with full color illustrations inside and they're definitely my favorite of the editions (1-15 were the only ones in this edition). I love the covers on the newest release, but some of those old pitures I think make the kids look WAY too childish.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593844231183548428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887611976174504593.post-37919988547972822082009-05-18T14:24:00.000-05:002009-05-18T14:24:00.000-05:00Just discovered your blog and look forward to catc...Just discovered your blog and look forward to catching up.

I am sure there used to be a bunch in my school library. I wonder if any other books constantly referred to Trixie Belden, as per Nancy Drew being mentioned in Babysitters Club (as being Claudia's favorite books). Hmmm...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, hope to see another post soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887611976174504593.post-91753062635644337112009-03-27T09:12:00.000-06:002009-03-27T09:12:00.000-06:00Just discovered your blog ...
