Back to HOME.

Since about 1998, juvenile series book reader, collector and author David M. Baumann has written several dozen articles on the subject. Many of these articles are his personal reflections and reminiscences of the hobby while some try to answer how and why these "kid books" remain so dear to us. Other articles are reviews of specific series. Most of these articles have previously appeared in various publications or elsewhere on-line. Threeinvestigatorsbooks.com is happy to provide a permanent on-line home to help preserve these articles and to introduce them to both new and veteran readers/collectors of series books. David continues to write articles on series books and we will include them here as they become available.

I would like to include many more articles, essays and reviews on series books! Please contact me for more details.
