Reference

"Victor Appleton" was the pseudonym used by the authors of the Tom Swift series. According to Wikipedia, "Tom Swift is the young protagonist in several series of juvenile adventure novels which began in the early twentieth century and continues to the present. Each such series stars a hero named Tom Swift who is a genius inventor and whose breakthroughs in technology (especially transport technology) drive the plots of the novels, placing them in a genre sometimes called "invention fiction" or "Edisonade". Some of the later heroes might be considered the same character after a rebooted continuity, but in at least one series, Tom Swift was identified as a relative of the original Tom Swift. The first books were outlined by Edward Stratemeyer and his Stratemeyer Syndicate, written by ghostwriters and all credited to the house name of Victor Appleton."    This CD contains the first 25 books of the Tom Swift series, the only ones published in the US before 1923, and hence clearly in the public domain, plus 2 books of the Moving Picture Boys series, also attributed to "Appleton".
