Buzz Books was an imprint of Reed Children's Books that published a selection of books from popular TV series and other genres from 1990 to 1996. This gallery features books from other galleries on my site (plus other series not featured in their own galleries) and is intended as an aid to collectors of Buzz Books.

Buzz Books were small hardback books which were the same size as the popular Ladybird Books and covered a range of TV series, cartoons and popular fiction. The gallery below is in series alphabetical order. If anyone knows of any series I've missed, please email me.

I am aware that some later books list 'Beetlejuice' as a series but I have never seen any of these and wonder if they were ever published given the Buzz Books range ended in 1996. I even have a list of four titles purportedly from this series... 'Dandy Handy Man', 'Freaky Fairground', 'Gruesome Gameshow' and ' Cousin BJ'. Please email if you have any of these or know more about them.
