Although not usually noted in the record books, when title changes occur within a weekly series, all the titles represented by that title sequence and their corresponding numbers (which sometimes extend beyond the contents of that particular record book) are provided. The periodical titles used here are from the covers of the publications; other titles may appear on the Contents pages or as running titles. The use of brackets for both weeklies and books-in-series publications represents an attempt to standardize the working titles used in the record books.
The date range indicated for each record book is approximate.
NOTE: There are three different Nick Carter title sequences, each with its own numbering, and most often referred to in the Record Books as simply "Nick Carter." As they first appear in the Record Books, the title sequences are: [1] Nick Carter Detective Library/Nick Carter Library; [2] New Nick Carter Library/New Nick Carter Weekly/Nick Carter Weekly/New Nick Carter Weekly and: [3] Nick Carter Stories. The numbering which corresponds to the each of the different titles within a given sequence is provided throughout the Contents listing.
Similarly, the Tip Top series has two distinct title sequences, each with its own numbering: Tip Top Weekly/Tip Top Library/Tip Top Weekly and: New Tip Top Weekly. Note also that in Record Book 2, Buffalo Bill Stories no. 226-405 are referred to incorrectly as Buffalo Bill Weekly.
