Description
Do you remember reading popular books like Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Tom Swift and the Bobbsey Twins? These were all products of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a book packager founded by Edward Stratemeyer in 1905. Through some ingenious methods, they produced some 1,400 volumes between 1905 and 1985 in both famous and obscure series. They helped to establish a large market for reading series books that attracted many competitors. This presentation will introduce, or perhaps reintroduce, you to this fascinating organization and their many beloved productions.
