Product Description
The exciting adventures of the fondly remembered Hardy Boys, Tom Swift and 27 other different sets of boys' series books will come vividly to life with this first time coverage of this topic. The author, John Axe, has brought together a rich treasury of book covers and information about 29 different boy's series authors and their books, from the early volumes of Edward Stratemeyer to Tom Swift and Tom Swift, Jr. In between, there are Rick Brant, Tom Slade, Roy Blakeley, Ted Scott, Andy Blake, Jerry Todd, Poppy Ott, Mark Tidd, Bronc Burnett, Chip Hilton, The Hardy Boys, Tom Quest, Ken Holt, Biff Brewster, and others. With this book many youthful memories will flood back -- climbing on the roof of the garage so you did not have to share with your younger brother or reading under the covers with a torch. Several series show each different cover. The Hardy Boys alone have 119 different 'classic series' cover designs. For each series, each different printing is identified, dated and valued. Researched and documented to identify rarities -- or to identify which book from your youth you need to locate and buy -- this book guides collectors through ALL of the different editions and printings.
