By 1959, there were four published and one unpublished "Eloise" books. Only the first book, Eloise: a book for precocious grown ups had remained in print. You can pick up a copy of the original issues of the books from a bookstore specializing in antiquarian books or on the 'net via Bibliofind, Advanced Book Exchange or the online auctions at Ebay. However, you must be willing to pay a hefty price. A first edition of Eloise at Christmastime can go for as much as $500.00.

With the assent of Kay Thompson's estate, in May 1999, Simon & Schuster published a new edition of the original, The Essential Eloise, the classic Eloise story with a 16 page Eloise scrapbook, by Vanity Fair writer Marie Brenner and illustrated with never-before-seen photographs, memorabilia and sketches from the collection of Hilary Knight. S&S also reissued Eloise in Paris in May 1999. These books were  followed by Eloise at Christmastime in the fall 1999 and Eloise in Moscow in spring 2000 and Eloise's Guide to Life in June of the same year.  In 2002, Eloise Takes a Bawth, the first new Eloise book in 40 years was finally published.

Here you can get all the details about each book, including reviews, advertisements and a peek at the unpublished Eloise Takes a Bawth and the long awaited 2002 published version.
