When I was in third grade, I bought "Alfred Hitchcock andthe Three Investigators in the Mystery of the Flaming Footprints"solely because I liked the cover. The neon green flaming footprints "walking" up a flight of stairs intrigued me. But once I picked up the book, I was addicted for life. I bought every Three Investigators book I could lay my hands on and would not let them out of my sight - not even to loan them to my best friend. I am almost 27 years old and still have nearly every book in the series. Unfortunately, I am faced with a new dilemma: my niece loves mysteries and I want to share the Three Investigators with her, but they are out of print and I do not want to let go of my copies. They should be reprinted!!! The series was loaded with positive messages for young readers: young people can be just as smart as adults, it is good to be well-rounded, it is "cool" to be smart, it is O.K. for athletic jocks (Pete) to hang out with handicapped introverts (Bob) and overweight geniuses (Jupiter), etc. Young people need to hear these messages today more than ever before. Someone please help bring them back in print!!! I'm begging!!!

I'm 28 now and was first introduced to The Three Investigators in 5th grade. I now teach English to 8th graders thanks in large part to my love of reading, flamed in my youth for a love of this series of books. The Mystery of the Invisible Dog was my favorite book in this series, and may be (along with White Fang) my favorite book of childhood. As a mystery, the story had few flaws. The mood and tone of this story hit just the right cord with me. I loved the entire series because it did not condescend to its audience, assuming a certain amount of knowledge about the world in each story. This book was no different in its reference to the Carpathian mountains of Europe and references to Catholic practices as part of the story. I highly recommend this book as truly representative and maybe the best book of the series.

This is a really good book, I reccommend you check it out at your local library.

This is the best juvenile seried there is. I only owned 4 books as a kid, but I read them over and over and over. Now I am trying to buy the rest of them and some are out of print! Oh that I had bought them wheni could (especially since they used to be $$$). I tried to pick up (being a girl) the babysitter's club, but that just didn't do it for me. They were so shallow and predictable. The three investigators series are quality literature, which is rare nowadays. PLEASE reprint all the out-of-print titles. Judging from others comments, many people would buy them! It would be a shame to let these go because there isnt the same calibur of books to replace them!

This book contains some of the most and absolutely fantastic stories I have ever read, and I have read a lot of stories! Get your hands on this book, and you'll never let go of it!, Thats a promise. Hitchcock surpasses himself in this anthology. He has managed to compile the most amazing stories into a most amazing book. Every last one of these stories has a gut-wrenching climax, which'll make you exclaim aloud, wohever, and wherever you are. A must-read.

This book is a definate must read. Yours truly, Jack the Ripper and The Most Dangerous Game have to be my favorite stories in this book, but I still like them all. If you can find a copy of it definatly buy or borrow immedietly.

This book contains an extremely rare short story by Raymond Chandler, called the "Bronze Door" A story that it only otherwise available in pulp digest magazines the latest being the magazine of science fiction and fantasy.

This book is filled with wonderful little tales with a little twist. Many of the stories are very subtle. You may even have to re-read a couple of them if you didn't pay close attention the first time. If you love Hitchcock, you will LOVE this book. Don't miss it.

An exceptional and comprehensive overview of the life of Pa Ubu himself! This book is very well researched and written (and illustrated!) with a sense of humor that Jarry would have appreciated. "Man With An Axe" is by far the best source of biographical info on Jarry in English. Jarry fanatics (especially those that cannot read French) should look no further.

Large-format and sturdy, lavishly illustrated and with illuminating prose, this book covers the 2001-2 Dia Arts Center show which was utterly mesmerizing. If you are unaware of Jensen, google him while waiting for this book to arrive...one of the most fascinating, and certainly most original artists ever.
