The second series, Tom Swift Jr., was 33 books. The last three series had 11, 15, and 6 books.<br /><br />For the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, most people prefer the "original text" versions instead of the "revised text" versions. The OT versions have 25 chapters, about 214 pages, and copyrights before 1959 for the earlier volumes. The RT versions have 20 chapters, 180 pages and copyrights of 1959 or later. The first 34 Nancy Drew and first 37 Hardy Boys have OT and RT stories for a given title.<br /><br />James Keelinekeelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006640946874012637noreply@blogger.com
