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.

More information about the release of these books and interviews with the editor can be found at In the news.
The information provided here covers the books from my own collection and is not representative of all the books produced at this time.
