"Look," Joe said. "This isn't a detective novel. Things could get really dangerous from here on out."
— in "Prime-Time Crime" (#109)
"Come on, Frank, this will be a piece of cake," Joe whispered, trying to reassure himself. "They don't realize
who they're up against. We're practically professionals." — in "Deathgame" (Casefiles #7)
"Trust me. I have a plan." — said so often by Frank that Joe would roll his eyes, etc.
SHORT HISTORY
t e x t
h e r e
Found a question on an obscure forum site about whether the Hardy Boys were the best-selling book series prior to "Harry Potter". Located data on Wikipedia that reveals that the all-time best-selling series is Georges Simenon's Maigret (853 million books sold), with Harry Potter number two! - 450 million books sold. Next are R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books, and Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason, with Nancy Drew ninth. James Bond is #25, The Hardy Boys series is #44 (only 50 million books sold) and Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan is #46.

"The Hardy Boys Detective Handbook" [1959-87]
by Franklin W. Dixon
  | The first edition was published in 1959 featuring commentary from Dominick A. Spina, a retired N.Y.P.D. detective, shown on the dustjacket; but Spina was indicted in a corruption scandal in Newark, New Jersey (and eventually acquitted); Stratemeyer quickly issued a third edition in 1966 featuring retired F.B.I. agent William F. Flynn. The changes in the 1987 fourth edition were mostly to the internal artwork •

There was a "Hardy Boys" network radio show, but info is scarce. The Disney "Hardy Boys" TV serials naturally offered 33RPM & 45RPM & 78RPM recordings, comic books, a board game, and a coloring book. The RCA Records 'Hardy Boys Band' produced two very rare albums and several 45s. The 1970s "Hardy Boys" TV series offered posters, a board game, coloring books, and jigsaw puzzles. Seattle Children's Theatre staged Hardy Boys plays in 1993 & 1997.
