The books are perhaps better known to collectors than readers. This is a shame, as their characters, especially Mandrake, are well constructed and set in well plotted scenarios. English editions, except for one, precede and print runs were relatively small, making them uncommon in collectable condition. The hyperlinked titles above go to pictures of the first two books in their classic jackets.
