I'm 26 and just now started reading them. A part of me feels robbed of good books to read in my teen years, but I'm also glad I have found books that actually keep me hooked for the first time in a long time. Most books I barely finish because I get so easily bored. These books are so fast paced and the atmosphere is quaint and very warm in despite of the mystery and murder and theft and such. The boys and their friends and parents are all adorable and it is a great world to escape to.
Very Cool Collection!!!! I donated most of my collection to my hometown library this past year as their books were looking pretty worse for the wear, hopefully kids will enjoy them as much as I did.
Hi great collection ,I just started my own collection and the book ,both Hardy's and Nancy Drew are fun to read again and I'm in my 50s ,thanks for sharing ,
I'm not sure if stumbling across this video was a good thing or a dangerous thing. The Hardy Boys was the book series that really got me into reading in the late '70s in elementary school. The school library had the brown hard cover editions. I don't remember any of them having dust jackets. Several years ago I collected a few of the books from that era. This video makes me want to go through the ones I've collected, figure out exactly which versions I have, and collect more. I've also collected the various TV adaptations.
I am 29 and just start reading the Hardy Boys books. I'm on the second one and I'm thoroughly enjoying them. I love series that came out in the mid '70s.
I used to just love read both the Hardy Boys and Alfred Hitchcock the Three Investigators when I was a kid. It's the only thing I go to read in my school library back in those days I particularly like Robert Arthur's Three Investigator stories which I couldn't find anywhere anymore in my country
Woow. Wonderful video. I have so many questions I don't know where to start. It is a wonderful way to spend your free time. But only if you have money unfortunately. Like anything else, if it's a hidden gem or its just good, it will eventually be bought up and unattainable for the average person.

Hello. I made the video about Kerry, I don't actually collect books. However I will pass along your comments when I see him. I hope you enjoyed the video.
A great video Dave. I read Hardy Boy books back in the 60's. I now have the bug to collect the first 40 dust jacket books.I have a few questions about certain books.Is there some one here that may be willing to answer a few questions?
@@boyse4214 Thank you, it seems they have gone through many renditions. This was a great video. Thank you for that. Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her was a great story of how Nancy Drew evolved from the Hardy Boys.

I'm 38 years old and still read Hardy Boys
I am 67, soon to be 68, and I remember the Hardy Boys from the 1960's well and fondly.

Hi there, is there any way to read the original writings of these books? (without buying first editions)
Yes you can get them on ebay or some bookstores for a few dollars. Most aren't worth that much so its not hard.
@@boyse4214 Thank you, it seems they have gone through many renditions. This was a great video. Thank you for that. Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her was a great story of how Nancy Drew evolved from the Hardy Boys.
@@KatieDawnJacobs If the book has MORE than 180 pages, it is an orig story
I must correct/modify my previous post to you.
Of the book has MORE than 181 pages and is one of the first 40, you can be sure of a orig story.
Katie. I have quite a few(spares) of orig story books in great shape.
Let me know if you are interested.

If hardy boys came out in 1920s ..were there any text changes to update it to modern times of technology and equipment etc ?
Yes many revisions over the yrs.
How many Hardy boy books are there all together? I have 1-59. Do they go higher then 59 books?
Matthew Ertle yes
Is there a way to get a contact with him?
Next time I see him I will direct him to your comments
The Detroit Tigers have a player named Brandon Dixon. I tell people that his grandfather was Franklin W. Dixon. Nobody gets the joke.
Stupid ass joke.
