>From one ofthe publishering email services I receive:

USA Today looks at the "heavy dose of 21st-century hipness and
relevancy" being injected in the Nancy Drew series, beginning with four
new books coming in March. (S&S plans to issue six books a year.) "She
tools around River Heights in an environmentally friendly, gas/electric
hybrid car. She uses computers to solve detective work. And she tells =
her
crime-fighting tales in first person." Meanwhile, the first Nancy Drew
mystery still sells; THE SECRET OF THE OLD CLOCK is said to have
sold 150,000 hardcovers last year (that's what it says).
