edit

I'm merely writing to offer congrats to the author(s) for such a terrific and comprehensive article on these books which I was so fond of as a child. I had no idea about the German series.--BAW 20:57, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Three Investigators book list

In the book list The Mystery Of The Cranky Collector is listed as number 43, whereas the copy I have is listed as number 42 (Printed in Great Britain). In fact it has a numbered list of all 42 books and doesn't include The Mystery Of Wrecker's Rock (1986, by William Arden).219.89.104.204 09:05, 13 July 2006 (UTC)JAR[reply]

bad links

nearly all of the book title wiki-links are bad. The majority are dead links and out of the few that do link, most lead to non-Three-Investigators material, such as "Hot Wheels". Suggestion: make the bad and dead linked titles into simple italicized entries.

Audio books

There are indeed two known audio books, but they're fairly rare. Random House published the two first books as full-cast audio books back in 1984, dramatized by Edward Kelsey: The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot and Secret of Terror Castle. This should be added somewhere in the article too, IMO. -andy 84.149.76.63 12:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Book List: Consistency

Was just reading through the book list and noticed that all the books by Robert Arthur are presented as ## Title (by Author, Year). While all the other authors are in the format ## Title (Year, by Author). Would go and clean it up myself but am unsure as to which form is preferred. 72.139.67.209 (talk) 09:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Refrences

One of the links in the reference section is a duplicate, and most don't have a clear description. The section about collecting the books does not have a reference, and I know that one of the external links http://www.threeinvestigatorsbooks.com/ has a page about how to tell the different editions apart. I am not sure if that website is a valid reference and if I should edit the main page my self.
