The sixth title in this series will be entitled Bicycle Thief, and will be published in August 2011.

I wonder if this title might actually be published or if it will be left in the S&S vaults, just like the original Digest #86.

Do we have any reason to think the series won't still be going by then? ???

Considering that the Tom Swift Young Inventor series had an interval of 3 to 4 months between the last 4 books before being killed off...with SF #4 coming out this September, but then #5 not being released till April 2011, it looks like the series isn't going to last.

Okay- I didn't look at the dates to realize there was such a huge gap there.

Don't know if it's already been mentioned but Bicycle Thief is the name of book six.

MacGyver

Ah- well, that would explain things then. Maybe there's still hope for this series yet.

I don't recall if this was mentioned earlier, but is there any reason to think this series would be ended with the seeming end of its "big brother" series The Hardy Boys: Undercover Brothers nearing?
I can't tell if it's exactly supposed to be set in the UB continuity as such or if it's just its own thing. Not that I would be really devestated if it did end- but just curious.

I wouldn't be surprised. It hasn't been coming out too regularly.

So far, from what I've heard and tried to find out, the Secret Files is going to continue.

That's good then- I didn't see any reason for it not to continue just because of the UB deal- just was wondering.

Okay. But I wouldn't be too surprised if it doesn't last much longer.

I just received some rather disappointing news from Paul Mular that I've managed to further collaborate.

The Hardcovers of Graphic Novels #'s 1-3, 5,6, 11, 12, 13, 20 and New Casefiles #1 are all out of print.

Paperback versions of #'s 7-9 & 11, all appear to be in low stock right now, with no possibility of reprints occurring.

Both the Paperback and Hardcover Versions of #10 A Hardy Day's Night are out-of-print.

Paul has also noted that some of the Hardcovers seems to be getting sold off as "remainder" stock, meaning that the books have been sold to remainder companies at the price of the cost of printing that Papercutz incurred with no further profit being made.  This might indicate that S&S has told Papercutz to get rid of those titles in that format because the contracts may've changed.  No one knows for sure why the books are being remaindered, that is just a theory.

Well, that happens with older comics and graphic novels... too bad though.
Guess it's a good thing I got the graphic novels as they were released.
