With Alfred Hitchcock removed, I’m sure. Loved these books.

Oh, memories! That series almost inspired me to become an author myself, that is, if I had any talent as a writer at all ;-)

It's been a looooong time, but there were a lot more than 10 books though ... weren't there?

I remember them well. They were more cerebral than the Hardy Boys. I just hope they haven’t been edited to be woke.

Great stuff! Always identified with that fatty Jupiter Jones for some reason. Great series alongside The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew and their British counterparts like the Famous Five and Secret Seven.

I still own a number of original "The Three Investigators" books that I've had since I was a kid back in the 1960s. I'm now reading them out loud to my grandson. He absolutely loves them.

Great memories, both then when I was a kid and now again with my grandson.
