Magnum PI
I know Magnum PI had to be very big in its time when our TV was constantly rerunning it over here when I was a kid. Are there any novels or novelizations of it? Or was that just not a thing then? I can't dig up anything even tho I've found and read novels based on much less known TV series. 31.217.9.194 (talk) 00:23, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
 * A novel was published in 1981. You can find information here. Cullen328 (talk) 01:25, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

 * I see that the 1981 book is available on inter-library loan. The 1983 is unavailable from all sources, indicating that we couldn't even purchase it for our collection if wanted to do so. All other Magnum PI meterials fall under audiovisual materials, so they are not books, but could be audio books. 97.82.165.112 (talk) 17:55, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
