While I'm in the midst of doing stuff other than blogging...

I seem to recall a series of books from childhood with a character who solved mysteries. He (or she) used the slogan "No question too small." I've run a Google search on that phrase, but a lot of other places seem to use it as well. Does anyone out there have an inkling of what book or books I might be remembering?

(Edited To Add: It's from Encyclopedia Brown. Thanks to all!)

Encyclopedia Brown's sign reads:

BROWN DETECTIVE AGENCY
13 ROVER AVENUE
LEROY BROWN, PRESIDENT
No Case Too Small
25 cents Per Day Plus Expenses

While cleaning my basement the other day, I just found the complete hardcover set of Encyclopedia Brown books that I had shipped home when I worked for their publisher. These will replace the badly tattered copies that my mother sent from her basement to my children last year.

I will be happy to hold onto those hardcover Encyclopedia Brown books for you in the meantime. :-)

Donald J. Sobol's new ENCYCLOPEDIA BROWN mystery, the first in nearly five years, to coincide with the re-release of the series in paperback, to Mark McVeigh at Dutton, for publication in 2007, by Edward Necarsulmer IV at McIntosh & Otis.

So either I'll have to stay on the lookout for it, or find someone to get them for me as a present. :-)

Thanks for the info!

Well! There's a welcome face I haven't seen in quite a while! Since I'm approximately 65 days behind in my Publisher's Lunch reading, thanks for the tip.
