5.0 out of 5 stars Revealing the Secrets of Stratemeyer's Success, October 26, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
What a great book. I agree with the former review, a very nice overview of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, including the bulkwarks of children's series, The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. I enjoyed especially learbing about the series I knew less of such as their predecessors the Rover Boys and Ruth Fielding. Great stuff and I wish all the series were still in perpetual print. It is also a good introduction to the entire world of children's adventure fiction before and during the Pulp Era.

I got this book for some literary research, but I would recommend this to anyone, researcher to common reader. Fun, informative, and interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice overview of the Syndicate's mystery series, December 10, 2005
By HardyBoys.us (Long Island USA) - See all my reviews
"The Secret of the Stratemeyer Syndicate" starts with a good, if brief, overview of the Stratemeyer Syndicate and its founder, Edward Stratemeyer.
It then moves on to examine in detail four mystery series created by the Syndicate: Ruth Fielding, the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew and the Happy Hollisters.
Of the four, the Ruth Fielding chapter is the most detailed but all contain valuable information on their respective series.
There are a few minor factual errors, such as the author's claim that Edward wrote the early Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books, among other minor gaffs.
Despite this, this book remains a valuable resource to researchers of the Syndicate and is a good read for fans of the series mentioned.
