Most titles were published in hardcover with full color dustjackets, but, like other Grosset & Dunlap juvenile series of the era, production costs were cut by dispensing with the dust jackets and featuring full color cover illustrations in their stead.<ref>[http://www.series.net/brewster/index.html Biff Brewster at The Series Bookcase]</ref> This only occurred with the last three books in the series, and later reprints of the first three.
 
The series follows Bruce "Biff" Brewster, a well-built, athletic sixteen -year -old who pursues adventure and mystery abroad with his father, Thomas Brewster, a former lieutenant in the United States Navy and, in the series, chief field engineer for the Ajax Mining Company. The series is distinguished for drawing on foreign cultures and exotic locations as backgrounds. The series was published in Norwegian and British editions.<ref>Axe, John.
