| "The author is a practised
journalist, and these stories convey a true picture of the workings of a
great newspaper."
The first two books were originally published by Chatterton-Peck.
Grosset & Dunlap picked up the series in 1909, and published the next
four books, reprinting the first two. Sully later reprinted all six existing
titles (not sure what year. Finally, Garden City took up the series,
reprinting the first six volumes in 1926 and publishing the final two books
in 1927.
The first six titles list the author as Howard Garis, the last two as
"Raymond Sperry" except for in the Garden City printings, which
attribute the entire series to Sperry. Raymond Sperry is also listed as the
author of the "White Ribbon Boys" series. The character Larry
Dexter also guest stars in several books of Garis's "Dick
Hamilton" series.
