Series Books Through the Lens of History by David M
Series Books Through the Lens of History by David M. Baumann This article first appeared in The Mystery and Adventure Series Review #43, summer 2010 Books As Time Machines It was more than half a century ago that I learned how to type. My parents had a Smith-Corona typewriter—manual, of course—that I used to write letters to my cousins. A few years later I took a “typing class” in junior high. Students were encouraged to practice “touch typing” and to aim for a high number of “words per minute”. There were distinctive sounds associated with typing that I can still hear in my memory. I remember the firm and rapid tap of the keys, much more “solid” than the soft burr of computer “keyboarding”. A tiny bell rang to warn me that the end of the line was coming; I would finish the word or insert a hyphen, and then move the platen from left to right with a quick whirring ratchet of motion. Frequently there was the sound of a sheet of paper being pulled out of the machine, either with a rip of frustration accompanied by an impatient crumple and toss, or a careful tug followed by setting the completed page aside; then another sheet was inserted with the roll of the platen until the paper was deftly positioned. Now and then I had to replace a spool of inked ribbon and clean the keys with an old toothbrush. Musing on these nearly vanished sounds, I put myself in the place of the writers of our series books, nearly all of whom surely wrote with typewriters. -

THE SECRET of the OLD BOOKS by David M
THE SECRET OF THE OLD BOOKS by David M. Baumann A Reflection on the Value and Enjoyment of Series Books 1997 Published in an earlier version of 4,480 words in Dime Novel Roundup, Vol. 67, No. 6, December 1998; later expanded to 4,874 words and posted on my website on the X Bar X Boys http://home.pacbell.net/dbaumann/ There was no sign of hidden loot. “It must be here somewhere!” declared Joe doggedly. “He wouldn’t leave it out in the open. Probably it’s in behind all this junk.” Frank held the match. They had to be careful, for the place was as dry as tinder and any negligence might have made the whole place a mass of flame from which there would have been no escape. ... In a neat little hiding place ... lay a bag. It was an ordinary gunny sack, but when Joe dragged it forth he knew at once that their search had ended. “We’ve found it!” he exulted. “The Tower treasure!” (from The Tower Treasure, 1927) It is a Friday morning in autumn. I am sitting at a small round table at Sharon’s Bakery in Yorba Linda, California, a bagel with cream cheese and a small decaffeinated coffee in front of me as the bright but not overwarm sunlight comes through the plate glass window and illuminates the book I am reading. Although I am fifty years old, I am exulting with Frank and Joe Hardy as they reach the climactic moment of The Hardy Boys: The Tower Treasure. -

The Parent Problem by David M
The Parent Problem By David M. Baumann 3,236 words Published in “The Mystery and Adventure Series Review” #42, November 2008 For copies of this astonishingly excellent series book fanzine and information on subscriptions (free—donation expected), contact: Fred Woodworth The Mystery and Adventure Series Review P. O. Box 3012 Tucson, AZ 85702 One of the appeals of series book heroes and heroines is that the juvenile reader, whose life is probably mundane and undistinguished, can project himself into a mystery or adventure by identifying with someone about his own age whose life is glamorous, fraught with danger, or otherwise exciting. If the reader is to enjoy these adventures and mysteries fully, this “someone” needs to be able to get out of the house in the middle of a moonless night; shadow a suspect into the disreputable side of town; go scuba diving; shoot guns; travel by airplane, speedboat, roadster, and perhaps even spacecraft; confront and capture ne’er do wells; prevail in fist fights; endure being tied up and left overnight; and engage in uncounted other bold pastimes and pursuits. To avoid setting a bad example, these escapades assuredly cannot be done in defiance of parental statutes, and most parents are not likely to give permission to an underage protagonist to go ahead and do all those things. It’s a dilemma. It’s the parent problem. More often than not the author’s solution has been to remove one or both parents from the scene so that the teen hero’s independence is made possible and plausible. There are no parents to disobey, and no irresponsible parent to send a daughter or son indifferently into danger. -
Biff Brewster Series by David M
An Overview of the Biff Brewster Series by David M. Baumann Read November 22 – December 13, 2003 4,965 words total Comments posted on the Ken Holt/Biff Brewster Message Board in December 2003 Posts 1217 and 1222 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kenholt/ Part I: General Comments 1,333 words The Biff Brewster series consists of thirteen books published between 1960 and 1965. A number of others have published comments on this series, and I do not plan to duplicate their observations or give the impression that I’m providing much new information. My first awareness of the Biff Brewster series was the comprehensive article by Franklin Rosemont in the “Mystery and Adventure Series Review” (number 18, Spring 1987). Later I also read Mark Johnson’s reviews of the first two books in the series; these can be found on Mark’s web site. Alex Van Zelfden and Steve Servello have both recommended this series to me, and in about 1999 Alex provided me with reading copies of the first three stories. I read them at the time but did not pursue a search for the rest. Later, to help fans of the series, I ordered a copy of the American Web Books reprint of Caribbean Pearls . Then, in the fall of 2003, I ran across copies of Arabian Stallion and Alpine Pass , almost without looking. Serendipitously finding myself in possession of six of the thirteen books including the most scarce ones, I shrugged and decided to find the rest of the books and then read them all straight through. -

SERIES BOOKS AS SERIOUS BOOKS by David M
SERIES BOOKS AS SERIOUS BOOKS by David M. Baumann February 19 & 22, 2001 3,919 words Published in “The Mystery and Adventure Series Review” #34, Summer 2001 For copies of this astonishingly excellent series book fanzine and information on subscriptions (free—donation expected), contact: Fred Woodworth The Mystery and Adventure Series Review P. O. Box 3012 Tucson, AZ 85702 In the summer of 1955, my family drove from our home in southern California to Illinois to visit my father’s second cousin. We stayed a week on her farm. I was about to turn seven years old. One of my most vivid remaining memories of that summer is seeing fireflies—lightning bugs— for the first time. Like tens of thousands of other children, I kept a few in a jar, fascinated with their ability to glow on and off. Then I set them free and watched the lines of light in the deep dusk as they flew away. The image has remained with me for 45 years. Most children come with a built-in sense of wonder and fascination. Even the most abused, underprivileged, or restricted children have an imagination that can turn ordinary things into portals through which they may enter a place of splendor. Children who like to read are particularly fortunate, for the splendid places they can reach through books are far more abundant than anyone can reach in a lifetime. All too often, adults who are committed to ensuring that children become familiar with “good literature” serve instead to dull the imagination and blunt the curiosity.
