=7. THE AIRSHIP BOYS AS DETECTIVES Or, On Secret Service in Cloudland=
Fascinating stories of that wonderful region of invention where
imagination and reality so nearly meet. There is no more interesting
field for stories for wide-awake boys. Mr. Sayler combines a remarkable
narrative ability with a degree of technical knowledge that makes these
books correct in all airship details. Full of adventure without being
sensational.
_The make-up of these books is strictly
up-to-date and fetching. The covers are
emblematic, and the jackets are showy and in
colors. The illustrations are full of dash and
vim. Standard novel size. Price 75 cents net
each._
