The Girls of Central High Series   

The Girls of Central High Series
Dust Jacket Gallery



Here is a series full of the spirit of high school life of to-day.  The girls are real flesh-and-blood characters, and we follow them with interest in school and out.  There are many contested matches on track and field, and on the water, as well as doings in the classroom and on the school stage.  There is plenty of fun and excitement, all clean, pure and wholesome.

Grosset and Dunlap Plain Dust Jackets

The earliest dust jackets for the series have the exact same design as the covers of the books.  The variation in color seen in these images is due to the amount of soiling present on the dust jackets that were scanned.

Books with intact plain dust jackets in excellent condition sell for around $50 to $125 each.  Books missing the dust jackets sell for around $5 to $10 each.
