Aldine "Life and Adventure" Library

Total Issues: 3

It is thought that the original run of this title was intended to be 4 issues with "The Brave Boy of the Basilisk" as the fourth title (a registration copy at the British Library has #4 on the wrapper, subsequently altered in coloured ink to #9 of the later series).

Issues & Index Sources:  1888
Publishers:   Aldine Publishing Co.

Aldine "Life and Adventure" Library (Second Series)

Total Issues: 19

The first four titles were originally listed as issues 4-7 of the earlier series, but eventually appeared un-numbered except in adverts where their numbers had reverted to 1-4. The series is advertised as running to 20 issues, but #19 is missing from the British Library registration run and may not have appeared (as are the newly numbered 1-3). The Deadwood Dick stories each reprinted five numbers from the Aldine Boys' First-Rate Pocket Library.

Aldine Mystery Novels

Total Issues: 28 (numbered)

Contained a complete 40,000 word novel each issue. This was almost certainly aimed at an adult audience but is included here because for the most part it shared the same authors as the more obviously juvenile series.

Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine

Total Issues: 604 (to Dec-2006)

Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine is one of the longest-running crime magazines, having recently celebrated it's fiftieth anniversary (and 600th issue). For most of its life it has been a digest magazine, changing briefly to a larger format from May 1957 through January 1958. Although Hitchcock gave his name to the magazine, signed the brief editorial introductions, and appeared on the cover for twenty-five years, he never really had any direct involvement with the magazine.

Note that the cover title changed to Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine in 1993, but the table of contents still retains the full name.
