There's a tremendous amount of interesting information and links at this
site. Great job, Bob! Not as complete as the Hardy Boys stuff, of
course, but you've been doing that series longer.

Thanks Scot. I've been concentrating on my Hardy Boys site & neglecting
my other sites for too long.
I have a renewed interest in the Swift series and will soon be visiting
the Stratemeyer archives at the NYPL for even more information.
The big question I hope to solve is the cover artists for the Swift Jr.
series, the illustrators for the internal drawings are named in the
book but it remains a mystery as to who did the cover art!

Yeah, much of the cover art in the Modern Library series remains a
mystery as well. Illustrators didn't get the credit that intro writers
did - while most of the latter are identified, many of the former didn't
even get to initial their work.

It's odd that the cover artists go uncredited and, for the most part,
unknown.
The front cover (esp. in children's books) really helps to attract
buyers.

Bob, are you at all familiar with Esenwein's _Adventures to Come_,
McLoughlin Bros. 1937? I'd LOVE to know who did that cover.

Nope, not familiar with that one.
The 30's was the golden age of cover art IMHO.
It's a shame that those artists remain anonymous.
