This is The Mysterious Half Cat, A Judy Bolton Mystery by Margaret Sutton, illustrated by Pelagie Doane, a Grosset & Dunlap hardcover copyright 1936, with its pictorial dust jacket.

The dust jacket shows edge wear and small chips at the spine ends, and a previous owner's bookplate is inside the front board, while the red cloth and text pages are clean, as the photos show.

In this Judy Bolton mystery, Judy gets a startling message that her old friend Scottie is coming to Farringdon, and a puzzling case follows. Chapter titles such as A Code Without a Key and At the End of the Row set up the mystery, with Blackberry the cat close by.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
