Wanted: The Three investigators hardcover books.

Hi. I'm hope it's okay to post this here. I am looking for copies of "The Three Investigators" mystery book series to complete my son's collection. These books are from the mid 1960's through the mid 1980's with Jupiter, Pete, and Bob. I prefer hardcovers. Please let me know what titles you have and if they are hardcovers or softcovers.
Thanks for looking!

Most libraries have a store that sell books. You might try there also.

I wasn't aware of these books but after a google search seems the Three are like the Hardy Boys (on steroids!). Also says there are a total of 43 of the original books!


Sounds like a worthwhile project to complete the set. I'll keep an eye out for hardcovers at auctions I attend.

I should have 3 or 4 in the back book reserves. I recall The Laughing shadow, and the screaming clock. Brilliant books for kids. Mine would be old Scholastic soft covers, presuming I can find them. Good luck with the search ... I thought to fill out my selection for my boys a few years back, but they were rarer than hen's teeth. Ebay was the only place I found any .. libraries having gotten rid of any stocks decades ago.

Oh, it's important to remember to add Alfred Hitchcock to the title.
