Brothers Frank and Joe offer words of wisdom in The Hardy Boys' Guide to Life by Franklin W. Dixon. The slim edition culls quotes from the Hardy Boys' books and addresses such subjects as survival tactics, detective work, etiquette and more. ""Useful Catch Phrases"" (""Junipers! That was a close squeak!"" from The Secret of the Caves) and ""Lessons Learned"" (""A smart operator wipes off all traces clean as a whistle!"" from The Mystery of the Chinese Junk) round out the presentation. Jacket art from the series illustrates the text.
