This series (1-58) was issued
from 1927 until 1979, when the operation was switched over to Simon and
Schuster. A series continuing off this one (starting with #59) was issued
in paperback and is still running today with over 170 volumes. For posterity's
sake, the Detective Handbook is also included in these listings. The first
three volumes (referred to breeders or seed books by high-end Hardy gurus)
were released in 1927. Volumes four, five, and six followed in 1928. Caves
and Cabin Island were released in 1929, followed by a book-a-year
pattern until 1979.

Beginning with volumes one
and two, all titles through 38 were revised during a 10+ year span. This
was done to rid the text of racial phrasing, outdated ideas and old-hat
novelties, and to reduce the page count by roughly 35 leaves. So, most
volumes have two story editions thus two authors, duly listed here. In
addition, all titles up to and including Devil's Paw (38) had two, three,
or four cover art varieties.
