THE BOBBSEY TWINS IN A GREAT CITY By Laura Lee Hope

The Bobbsey Twins in a Great City, the ninth book in the long-running Stratemeyer Syndicate series, was originally published by Grosset & Dunlap in 1917. Early editions featured white spine dust jackets and standard artwork with a circular spine emblem declaring "For Children of 5 to 10 Years." The books were bound in dark green cloth with applique covers that matched the artwork on the dust jacket. In the early 1920's G&D introduced new dust jacket and applique artwork. Circa 1930, the "For Children of 5 to 10 Years" emblem disappeared, the applique cover was eliminated and this title was published with a plain white spine dust jacket, with the exisiting cover art, for the remainder of the decade. Some print runs offered Bobbsey Twins paperdolls on the rear panel of the dust jackets. In the early 1940's, G&D switched to the pink spine dust jacket format. In the late 1940's, the blue and white spine standard dust jacket format was introduced. In 1960, in an attempt to keep the series current, the text was revised and the book was retitled as The Bobbsey Twins' Search in the Great City. The reissue used the wrap-around illustrated dust jacket format. In 1962, this title was published in picture cover format using the same artwork as the previous edition. In 1990, this title was revised again and reissued in a thin, red spine picture cover edition with new artwork by Pepe Gonzalez.
