A plucky "titian-haired" sleuth solved her first mystery in 1930. Eighty million books later, Nancy Drew has survived the Depression, World War II, and the sixties (when she was taken up with a vengeance by women's libbers) to enter the pantheon of American girlhood. As beloved by girls today as she was by their grandmothers, Nancy Drew has both inspired and reflected the changes in her readers' lives. Here, in a narrative with all the vivid energy and page-turning pace of Nancy's adventures, Melanie Rehak solves an enduring literary mystery: Who created Nancy Drew? And how did she go from pulp heroine to icon? The brainchild of children's book mogul Edward Stratemeyer, Nancy was brought to life by two women: Mildred Wirt Benson, a pioneering journalist from Iowa, and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams, a well-bred wife and mother who took over as CEO after her father died. In this century-spanning story, Rehak traces their roles--and Nancy's--in forging the modern American woman.Binding Type: Paperback

Husband approved
Color: Misty Blue, Size: Large
This is a lightweight and perfect for golf! Looks like a much more expensive golf shirt. My husband loved it.

I get tons of compliments about this pullover
Color: Navy, Size: XX-Large
I really like this pullover!
A clothing steamer got the wrinkles out from the shipping process, and it hasn't wrinkled at all since then. It's lightweight, and allows my arms to move freely. The fabric feels good against my skin, and the color looks pretty much exactly as it looks on line.
I wear an XXL, and it fits exactly as it should. I love the look of the mock neck collar, it's stylish and works well over a regular collared shirt. The quality is solid, and it's absolutely worth the price. No hesitation about ordering more.

Runs small, rough on the inside
Color: Misty Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Misty Blue, Size: X-Large
Basic performance half button pullover that looks great but just isn't quite worth the money. The polyester material will protect you from light rain and wick the moisture away, but everything else about it feels a little bit low rent. The plastic snaps on the collar are similar in quality to a cheap, disposable poncho. The interior is pretty scratchy and catches on the rough skin on the back of my elbow. Fit is a little snug and for 8% spandex there's just not much stretch. Misty blue color is attractive, but not enough to overcome the middling construction and build quality. Feels very similar to the underwhelming jackets I've 'earned' from my employer for meeting some sort of corporate milestone.
If this were $25 I'd give it an extra star. For the list price you can find much better stuff from much better brands if you shop the sales.
