| Biff Brewster |
| The Biff Brewster Mystery Adventure series produced 13 books between 1960-1965. Written by several authors under the pen name Andy Adams, this series was near the tail end of the golden years of series books. One very nice feature were the lavish endpapers which used "Ken Holt Green" and depicted two boys in a canoe on a jungle river. Later, as with many other series, the endpapers were changed to a cheaper, and greatly inferior, line drawing. |
