I knew that there were a couple of non-Indy books in the series but never heard about this Morgan Swift character before. Good on you for seeking them out to get the complete collection.whipwarrior said:FYF #10 and 15 feature a female Indy-type character named Morgan Swift, obviously designed to appeal to girl readers. Based on my research, the Swift books are somewhat rare, but worth collecting simply for their obscurity.
So cool that you managed to get new mint editions! I'm very happy for you but very jealous at the same time. Will you be keeping your oldies for nostalgia's sake?
I'm wondering if they are so rare because the age group they were intended for weren't concerned about keeping these books. As for myself, I only had one (#1, "Curse of Horror Island") and it was too much of a kiddie book for me at the time so I didn't care for it much and eventually lost it somehow. Kicking myself for that because now I don't have any.Edward the Head said:These books are very rare,
Or are they rare because they didn't sell well and bookstores ripped off the covers to send back to the publisher to collect the return money (and threw the coverless books in the garbage)? This was a common practice in the past but I'm not sure if it was still being done in the '80s.
