canned meat and sturdy jeans

i deeply regret the fact that i never could get a hold of a lot of the hardy boys casefiles books (because they're mostly out of print and barely any are digitized)

when i make one of those image block posts per book, i tend to make a list after/while i finish reading of things that best summarize/distinguish the book's story beats

since i made my college personal project reading every since nancy drew Main Series from start to finish in chronological order from 1930 to twenty years into the 21st century, i have the unique perspective that the changes in characters/settings/plot in the book series are actually so gradual it's impossible to say they're not a straight up evolution done year by year and bit by bit with hundreds of creative voices at the helm
