Hardy Boys Hardcover Collection Vol 30-58

The characters were created by Edward Stratemeyer, the founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a book-packaging firm, and the books have

been written by many different ghostwriters over the years.

The books are published under the collective pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon.[1] The Hardy Boys have evolved in various ways since their first

appearance in 1927.

Beginning in 1959, the books were extensively revised, largely to eliminate racial stereotypes.

The books were also written in a simpler style in an attempt to compete with television.
