Below you will find a list of links that
are related to The Three Investigators. It is not a
comprehensive list, but I hope to add more links as I
discover more sites that will appeal to T3I fans. If you
know of a good T3I site, e-mail me, and I will consider
adding it to the list.
U.S. Editions/Formats
Collector Site - http://www.threeinvestigatorsbooks.com
This site has been long anticipated by many of us
fans of the series. Seth Smolinske is a long-time
collector who has amassed probably the most
information on the collecting aspects of the
series. Seth has a personal collection of books
that numbers in the hundreds, and by comparing
differences in multiple copies of the same
titles, he has "played detective" to
piece together the publishing history of the
series. PLUS, Seth's site has copies of
interviews with William Arden and Gayle Lynds
(G.H. Stone), two of the writers who played a
role in the Three Investigators series.
The Official Three
Investigators Web Page - www.threeinvestigators.net
This web site has information supplied primarily
by Elizabeth Arthur, the daughter of Robert
Arthur, and her husband Steven Bauer. Some neat
info here that you will not find anywhere else
about the man who brought us the Three
Investigators series.
The German 3
Investigators Web Site http://www.rocky-beach.com/
The Three Investigators are alive and well in
Germany, where new stories are still being
written. The definitive site for all things
relating to T3I in Germany can be found at
rocky-beach.com
William Arden/Dennis
Lynds Web Site- http://www.dennislynds.com
Dennis Lynds has written books under many
different names and consequently has quite an
impressive list of credits to his name. You can
find several sites that give some biographical
information about him, but he recently began his
own website. You can read all about his
perspective on writing..
Book a minute humor
- http://rinkworks.com/bookaminute/b/arthur.investigators.shtml
An ultra condensation of the major events in a
T3I story. Don't go to this website unless you
have a good sense of humor and can chuckle at the
inherent formula writing that is part of any
children's series of books.
The Jones Salvage Yard
Forum http://forums.delphiforums.com/jupe
This site is an excellent resource for T3I fans
and includes a message board for posting and
reading messages that pertain to the series. It's
been in operation for over a year and is gaining
popularity.
Yahoo Groups Three
Investigators Forum http://groups.yahoo.com/group/three_investigators/
This site is a very active forum for discussing
the series. You can set your preferences to
participate by e-mail or you can log into the
group on a regular basis. Either way, it's fun to
share thoughts about the series. Plus, we discuss
a book every month or so.
Jonny Nillson's Web Sites
http://www.varania.org/
Jonny is a good friend who has put together quite
a definitive site on the Three Investigators in
Europe. He has lots of information on past and
present issues of books and has a passionate
interest in the series. He's also a great guy to
correspond with by e-mail.
Secrets of the Three
Investigators - http://www.tunneltwo.com/secrets
This is one of the few T3I sites that gives
detailed information on the collecting aspects of
the Three Investigators series. Robert has
designed an attractive site that has, among other
things, image scans of all the hardback and
paperback covers printed by Random House over the
years. He also gives hints on ways to collect the
books, preserve the books, and handle them.
Juvenile Mysteries Web
Site - http://www.misteriojuvenil.com
This web site by Paulo Ferreira has information
on the series, including covers from the
Portuguese editions. He also has information on
obtaining a specially printed business card of
the Three Investigators. For fans speaking only
English, you can read his website by using a
webpage translator such as
babelfish.altavista.com and translating the pages
from Porguguese to English.
