| All picture covers were in the matte format until 1986 when the format changed to a glossy cover with the flashlight symbol on the cover and spine. Any cover art stated as being in print until 1986 has been printed in both the matte and the glossy format.
For #1-34, I have indicated whether the books have the original 25 chapter text or the revised 20 chapter text. By knowing which cover art variations have the original text, it is possible to purchase books without having to ask the sellers which text the books have. #1-4 and #6 were never printed in the picture cover format with the original text. #35-56 were never published with 25 chapter texts. These books have only been published with 20 chapter texts, so I have made no mention of the text for these books. It is never necessary to ask sellers which text #35-56 have since only one version exists for each title. In 1974, the volume numbers were added to the front covers of all of the books. Examples of books with and without the volume numbers are shown for each title. Note: You will notice differences in tint on books with the same cover art. In most cases, this means nothing. Books can vary in tint slightly. Furthermore, the scans on this page were done in two groupings 15 years apart and with different equipment. That accounts for some of the differences in tint. The only book where the difference in tint is important is the 1971 copy of The Mystery at Lilac Inn, which has a distinctive lavender tint to the cover. |
