I love these books and have re-read them many times!  This is a sad day.  RIP Donald Sobol

These books meant the world to me when I was a kid. Thank you, Mr. Sobol. :)

They were some of the very first books that I got into. They were pretty influential in my love of reading, which makes Donald Sobol an important figure in my life.

This makes me so very sad. RIP, Mr. Sobol. Thank you for giving me Encyclopedia Brown, he made me feel good about being clever. ♥
