Random House Editions
In the early 21st Century, Random House bought
Golden Books and in 2002 decided to breathe new life into the Trixie Belden
series. With ex-Golden Books editor, Jennifer Dussling, at the helm, the
original books were reproduced faithful to the first editions with brand new
covers.
Random House will be publishing books 5-9 in 2004
as well as releasing the first three books on audio tape. In
2005, books 10-15 are scheduled for release. Visit the
Random House site for the latest
publication dates.

The information provided here covers the books from
my own collection and is not representative of all the books produced at this

A library edition of these books were also
published with the only visible difference being a textured, matt cover rather
than a glossy one.
