I'd like to know that too ... I believe the answer is nowhere. Although the novels are copyrighted, at the moment no publisher has any titles in print or eprint.

They're not around, that I can see.
When that ION book scanner thing was being advertised, I was tempted to get one, just to scan the Saint series and a couple others like it. However, it never did come out, and I'm too lazy to build one myself. |

I love the Paul Temple radio series written by Francis Durbridge. There were a handful of books written based on the radio shows, as I recall. Of course, nothing is in print. But the radio shows turn up on BBC Radio 7 and some are available for purchase.

Keep hoping - I never thought I'd see the Ellery Queen ebooks, as the pbooks have been out of print for years, but 5 of them have been released this year, 2 by Mysterious Press just in the last few weeks.
Eagerly awaiting more. |

Thanks for that heads up, Kate! A year ago or so I posted on a thread that I would like to see the EQs issued as eBooks, so I'm delighted to see you say that some have been done.

Mysterious Press is listed as a "publishing partner" of Open Road Media. But according to their website their website, they're really a deluxe-limited-edition print-publisher and apparently intend to hand over the conversion to Open Road for the move to digital.
ORM's webpage for their Ellery Queen offerings is here. Only 2 shown just far, but following the blog tag for "Ellery Queen" may turn up news of upcoming stuff, since they seem to make announcements with new releases for their other book lines/authors. Hope this helps. |

Glad to make everyone so happy!
I purchased the Mysterious Press books through Kobo - both those have only come out in the last six weeks or so. The two titles are The Roman Hat Mystery and Calamity Town. A British publisher, Langtail Press, offered three books in February, with a promise of more, but so far no more have materialized. The three books on offer there are The Door Between, The Devil to Pay and Halfway House. Those are also available through Kobo, but I checked them out of my public library, so look there as well. |

I like the Roman Hat Mystery. I've got a copy of the old hard cover version (copyright 1930) here at home. I found it and some others in the orange hard covers yrs ago at garage sales. Nice to see that they are coming out in the new format (ebooks) finally. Thanks for the link ATDrake.
