Simon & Schuster

In 1979, the Nancy Drew books began to be published by Wanderer Books Simon & Schuster in paperback format. Though formatted differently from the original 56-volume series which continued under Grosset & Dunlap's control, these new books were published under the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories banner. These books feature increasingly contemporary cover illustrations and some books have multiple versions of the cover art. 8 volumes that had been published in paperback between 1979 and 1981 were subsequently reissued in hardcover format around 2005, and thus the table here has been shaped to include them in the hardcover series by Grosset & Dunlap, although their original existence had predominantly been in paperback editions from Wanderer.

Wanderer

During these volumes, the Stratemeyer Syndicate was involved up until its sale (and they had the last books ready). The main plot and formula of the books, however, stayed similar to the original Grosset & Dunlap series.

After volume 78, the series took a two-and-a-half year hiatus due to the closure of the Stratemeyer Syndicate and the sale of it to Simon & Schuster. The writing style of these books began to take a different direction than the previous books.

Aladdin editions

With the new millennium the series changed publishers to the Aladdin subdivision of Simon & Schuster. With declining sales Simon & Schuster ended the original series in November 2003. The books published in 2003 show a sharp decline in quality compared to earlier books as the editors focused on preparing the new Nancy Drew, Girl Detective series. Many errors are in the last six books that were not caught by the editors, including Ned Nickerson's hair being suddenly blond, Nancy's age reverting to 17 then back to 18, and numerous typos.

Nancy Drew Notebooks (1994–2005)

The Nancy Drew Notebooks were aimed at younger readers and featured a Nancy who was still in grade school. The series was published from 1994 to 2005.

Nancy Drew, Girl Detective (2004–2012)

Nancy Drew, Girl Detective replaced the long-running Nancy Drew mysteries series, which began in 1930. This new series is written in first person narration, from Nancy's point of view, and features updated and overhauled versions of the main Nancy Drew characters. Nancy Drew in this version is a less than perfect teenage girl prone to forgetfulness, an object of jokes, and interested in other subjects over mysteries. Bess Marvin has gained skills in mechanics and computers and is no longer slightly overweight, and described as fashionable and trendy. George Fayne has becomes moody and sloppily dressed in this series, always more interested in tech and sarcastic retorts than solving mysteries. New secondary characters are introduced to populate River Heights and appear over multiple books, adding a framework to Nancy's world. Bess and George also gain siblings and family members with careers. Though this series has many improvements over the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, the drastic change in the main characters' personalities was hard for many readers to accept. In 2013 Nancy Drew, Girl Detective was replaced with the Nancy Drew Diaries series.

Nancy Drew Files (1986–1997)

In 1986, Simon & Schuster, Inc. began publishing a spin-off series, The Nancy Drew Files, running concurrently with the main Nancy Drew Mystery Stories line. The Nancy Drew Files were aimed at an older, teenage audience, and is similar in style, target audience, and sensibilities with The Hardy Boys Casefiles. Starting in January 2014 Simon and Schuster is releasing this series as eBooks.

Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys SuperMystery Series (1988–1998)

The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew teamed up in this 36 volume series of paperbacks. This series follows the formula of the main characters and their friends typically involved in separate mysteries that end up being connected. The sleuths join forces to solve the overall mystery. This series is based in the Nancy Drew Files and Hardy Boys Casefiles continuity, so murder, romance, and flirtation between the series regulars are common. Nancy Drew and Frank Hardy share an attraction in this series, though after a brief kiss in "The Last Resort" this attraction is not acted on. Subsequent books focus on the respect and friendship that developed between the two and their continued feelings for Ned Nickerson and Callie Shaw. Several spin-off series were cancelled by Simon and Schuster at the end of 1997, including the Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys SuperMystery series.
