Many of the Digests in were published in Great Britain in paperback by Armada and in hardbound picture cover editions by Angus & Robertson.Īfter the demise of the Casefiles series, some unused manuscripts from that series were recycled for use in the Digest series. Hardcover rebindings, primarily for library use, made by Demco and others have been observed. Volume 143, The Giant Rat of Sumatra, adopted it's name from an 'untold' tale mentioned in several of the famous Sherlock Holmes mysteries by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. My research indicates that it went through three printings, the last for inclusion in a boxed gift set with #'s 99, 101 & 102. Volume 100, The Secret Of The Island Treasure, was in print for a very short period and is a tad more difficult to locate.

Volume 95, Danger On The Air, was also released in a hardbound picture cover edition as part of the Weekly Reader Just For Boys series in 1989. The art on the gift box was usually taken from one of the books contained therein, however this is not always the case and sealed gift sets using the same art but containing different volumes have been seen.Ī spoken version of volume 64, Mystery Of Smugglers Cove, was released in a boxed two tape set by the Cassette Book Company in 1985. Starting in 1980, several different boxed Gift Sets containing three to five volumes were offered. These have slight modifications, especially notable on the bottom of the spine. Years later Scholastic offered several of the later volumes. In 1979, Scholastic Books released a paperback edition of volume 59, Night Of The Werewolf, with a slightly modified cover and title page. In late 1987 the series resumed and from that time (except for 2000), Simon & Schuster continued to release a new volume every other month until the series was discontinued in 2005. In 1987 Simon & Schuster bought out the Stratemeyer Syndicate and turned to the book producer Mega Books for subsequent titles.

This slowed down to three volumes per year in 1984-1985 and stopped all together in 1986. That this series was meant to be viewed as a continuation of the original series is demonstrated by the fact that the book numbering starts with #59 instead of #1 and that early editions of the last Grosset & Dunlap book, The Sting Of The Scorpion, contained a plug for Night Of The Werewolf as the next volume.Īfter a slow start in 1979-1980, Simon & Schuster began releasing six new titles every year.

All the regular characters from the original series show up here also. The stories themselves continued along the same lines as the first 58 tales although the Digests are generally shorter. These books (especially the later volumes) are very difficult to locate, particularly those which have not seen library usage. Each volume used a different color cloth binding. *The 27 Wanderer volumes were also issued in hardcover with a dust jacket using the same basic art as the paperbacks.

The Digest series ended in 2005 and was replaced by The Hardy Boys: Undercover Brothers Beginning with volume 171, The Test Case, in January 2002, new Digests were released under Simon & Schuster's Alladin imprint, with some older volumes being reprinted under this imprint. After the 1979 court battle in which Grosset & Dunlap lost the rights to publish any new Hardy Boys tales, Simon & Schuster started publishing new Stratemeyer Syndicate stories in paperback format*, first under the Wanderer imprint (volumes 59-85) and then under the Minstrel imprint.
