I bought this on holiday on a whim when I saw a bunch of titles in a used book section. I read these voraciously as a kid and just felt like a nostalgia hit. I got that hit big time! All those memories locked away to come back to the surface again 40+  years later. Loved it! 

I'm curious, though; I thought the phone in Headquarters was unlisted. So how did that guy find the number and call them, offering a reward? I guess it can't have been unlisted after all.
