While it is true that a conflict with Lucas caused the diaries not to be released, I wrote to Donovan in '95 and was sent a promo package with a copy of the cover, a poster, and a few excerpts from the book.
It looks like the book would have been quite a cool collectors items.
Too bad, eh?

: : : Does any one recall (or have) The Lost Diaries of Young Indiana Jones? I was leafing through some old Boys' Life magazines from 1993 and saw an ad for this book or series of books by Donovan Publishing of Newport Beach, CA. There is no price listed, only states it is 80 pages hardcover, 9' x 11", fully illustrated, and first edition. Are they worth persuing if still available? If anyone wants more info from the ad I'll post the text of it.

: : Westy,
: : This book was never released. I waited and waited in '93 and went through three schedule changes until finally, it was cancelled. Broke my heart!!

: : See ya,

: : The Man with the Hat

: :
: : "Fortune and Glory, Kid. Fortune and Glory."

: Thanks for the info. What a shame; the ad was so fancy and sounded so promising. At least I got the Young Indiana Jones trading cards that were out at the time. Still see them occasionally at flea markets.
