The Dustjacket editions (titles 1–3), the Cellophane editions (titles 1–10), and the Cameo editions (titles 1–13), all have very similar illustrations. The ink drawings of the Dustjacket editions were just embellished with a single color in the Cellophane and Cameo editions. For the most part (see next bullet), the illustrations are nearly identical from one edition to the other.
The exception to this is that the Cellophane edition of The Secret of the Mansion contains 12 additional illustrations not contained in the Dustjacket edition. There were no additional illustrations in the Cello versions of The Red Trailer Mystery or The Gatehouse Mystery.
The Dustjacket editions of the first three books in the series had captions under the illustrations. Additionally, the Dustjacket edition of The Secret of the Mansion has a list of illustrations.
The recently released (2003–2006) Random House hardcovers contain the same black and white drawings from the Dustjacket versions but without the captions. The Secret of the Mansion contains the additional illustrations found in the Cello version but without the color.
