Title: Mystery of the 15 Sounds (Mystery of the Fifteen Sounds)
Description: Chicago, IL: Goldsmith Publishing Company, 1938. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. This book is in Very Good condition and has a Very Good dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean condition. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some light bumping and rubbing. The text pages are clean, but noticeably toned due to the acid content of the pages. The pages are also quite brittle. The dust jacket has a couple of small edge nicks and tears, but is overall colorful, clean and bright. "Garis wrote many books for the Stratemeyer Syndicate under various pseudonyms. As Victor Appleton, he wrote about the enterprising Tom Swift; as Laura Lee Hope, he is generally credited with writing volumes 4–28 and 41 of the Bobbsey Twins; as Clarence Young, the Motor Boys series; as Lester Chadwick, the Baseball Joe series; and as Marion Davidson, a number of books including several featuring the Camp Fire Girls. The couple's children also wrote for Stratemeyer. After Edward Stratemeyer's death in May 1930, his two daughters, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams (1892–1982) and Edna C. Squier (1895–1974) , ran the company, with the result that Garis stopped writing for the Syndicate in 1933 after several disagreements." (from Wikipedia). Very Good in Very Good dust jacket .
