List Of Nancy Drew Books - Book Title Generator

The character of Nancy Drew has appeared in a number of series over the years. The first and longest-running of these is the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series, begun in 1930 and ended in 2003. The first spin-off series, the Nancy Drew Files, was begun in 1986. Since then, Nancy Drew has appeared in a number of other series and books, including a number of spin-offs where she investigates with The Hardy Boys.

Nancy Drew Mystery Stories(1930-2003)

Grosset & Dunlap

Simon & Schuster

In 1979, the Nancy Drew books began to be published by Wanderer Books Simon & Schuster in paperback format. Though formatted differently from the original 56-volume series which continued under Grosset & Dunlap's control, these new books were published under the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories banner. These books feature increasingly contemporary cover illustrations and some books have multiple versions of the cover art. 8 volumes that had been published in paperback between 1979 and 1981 were subsequently reissued in hardcover format around 2005, and thus the table here has been shaped to include them in the hardcover series by Grosset & Dunlap, although their original existence had predominantly been in paperback editions from Wanderer.

Wanderer

During these volumes, the Stratemeyer Syndicate was involved up until its sale (and they had the last books ready). The main plot and formula of the books, however, stayed similar to the original Grosset & Dunlap series.

Minstrel editions

After volume 78, the series took a two-and-a-half year hiatus due to the closure of the Stratemeyer Syndicate and the sale of it to Simon & Schuster. The writing style of these books began to take a different direction than the previous books.

Aladdin editions

With the new millennium, the series once again changed publishers, this time to the newly launched Aladdin subdivision of Simon & Schuster. Although sales had been declining for years, sales dropped steadily to the point where Simon & Schuster finally decided to just end the original series in November 2003, after 73 years.

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Super Sleuths (1981-1984)

The first Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Super Sleuths book was published in 1981 with the sequel published in 1984. Both volumes contain seven short stories with Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys working together and are written under the pen-names of Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon. Both books were published under Simon & Schuster’s Wanderer Books imprint.
