Back in the early 1990s, the first two Judy Bolton books were published by Applewood in hardcover facsimile editions for around $25.00 each. Years later, volumes 37 and 38 were reprinted by Applewood in glossy picture cover editions, and these books also cost around $25.00. Aeonian Press reprinted the Judy Bolton series in hardcover editions that lacked dust jackets and at a cost of around $25.00 to $35.00 each.
The Judy Bolton books are finally going to be available at affordable prices in softcover editions with the original cover art. Applewood is reprinting the entire series. The books will be published in two waves, with the first half of the series available possibly as soon as late July. The actual release date is August 1, 2008. Amazon.com has the books available at a preorder price of $10.17 each. According to Margaret Sutton's daughter, Lindsay Stroh, the books to be released first are #1-5, 7, 10-12, 14, 21, 23, 26-28, 30-32, and 35. The remaining half of the series will be released later this year. This is good news for collectors who have gone without some of the harder to find titles.
