Hardy Boy Books

I became a Hardy Boys fan when I was about 11. I used to go to the library and get stacks of them! Eventually I built up a collection of my own from gifts and book fairs.

I began buying books of ebay to fill in the gaps in my collection, and discovered that many times if I bought a big lot, I would get doubles. So, I figured, I bought them here, why not sell them here? I began selling my extra Hardy Boy books. I soon found myself buying lots to break up and resell...and the rest is history!

Beginning in 1927, The Hardy Boys is one of the longest running and most popular book series for children to date.
The original Hardy Boys Series, that is the first 59 books, including the Detectives Handbook, were produced until 1979. The boys ventured off onto several more of their own series; including the more mature themed Casefiles and the classic style Digests.
Originally written By Leslie McFarlane, many other authors have used the name Franklin W. Dixon to give the boys endless mysteries and adventures!
Revisions to the first 38 titles began in 1959, during which time the books were "modernized" by eliminating ethnic and racial stereotypes, and updating the way the characters talked. The story lengths were reduced, which often removed some of the charm from the original stories. While some titles had only minor revisions made, others had the stories completely rewritten.

Here, I will give you an look at some of my favorite titles. I will switch them up often, so keep checking! Often the books I feature have a few revisions in which the story may vary a bit. For the orignal story, the orignal copies are your best bet, or the ones that don't say "This is a Revised edition of the orignal story", or something to that degree, on the back of the title page.
