Aside from the "weight-lifter" Chet in Murder At The Mall, the only other times that I can recall Chet being involved with exercise or aerobics was in the revised 1962 Alistair Hunter text of The Secret Of The Old Mill when Chet was leading an aerobics class at a seniors center. And then in May 1992, Chet joined a health club in Cold Sweat. But, in both cases, Chet was still a plump youth.

Chet also gave extrasize lessons in The Haunted Fort. (although it was harder on him than the students) And in Martial Law he took Karite.

003Robin457 · October 19, 2008, 01:32:06 PM

PSP ALERT
First off, you didn't answer my question. You told me about something I have never heard of. What exactly is bluespine?

NZone · October 20, 2008, 07:39:03 PM

not a psp because according to the rules that I laid down, an answer to a question is not a psp. You need to read. Also, a blue spine is a revised original, they ran from 1-58

bozonessinc · October 21, 2008, 09:11:06 PM

According to your rules. I play by my rules Nzone!!

Nowadays most people refer to the Grosset & Dunlap Hardcovers as Bluespines since the books have been issued with a bluespine since 1962.

But you also have to remember that the Revision project undertaken by the Stratemeyer Syndicate lasted from 1959-1973, so there are a number of bluespine "hardcovers" that are actually original text editions.

Also, another term that you'll hear, especially for the revised 38, and 39-66 is "Flashlight", since in 1987 Grosset & Dunlap changed the design of the hardcovers. Up till 1987, the spine logo of the series had been a side profile of the Hardys heads with a 1960's style crew cut. So, G&D felt that the best logo for the series, that would not get as dated as the "profile" look, would be a flashlight.

Does anyone else dislike the "Flashlight" design? The orginal blue spin look was much better, even if dated.
