French Titles in order by USA series
Note: Each title was evidently given a new number in the Lecture et Loisir series at each re-release (aka each new date). I would claim the new number was for the new format (2), but some books have three numbers, so...

French Super Sleuths Series - Publisher: Hachette / Bibliotheque Verte
Known American Volume: Super Sleuths #1
Note: Four different formats of the book. Issued in 1983, 1984, 1988, and 2000 (I think).
We Hardy Boys fans most likely have the huge success of Nancy Drew ("Alice") in France to thank for these different formats or maybe this edition at all (although format two seems to be geared more towards the Digests [below]).
