Pirates aren't even a mythical creature edition

FAQs:
>How do I into Bailey?
Browse your school's bookorders and keep an eye out for the ten-book megapack. The first ten are very important to Eddy and Melody's relationship and establish the Mrs. Jeepers subplot, which gets expanded in the Super Specials. After that you can read around (but chronological order is strongly recommended)
>I'm ~20 years old and I want to become a Bailey expert. If I read them every day, will I make it?
Almost certainly not. If you haven't been reading Bailey since at least the first grade then you're going to miss out on most of the subtle psychological variations in the kids' investigative processes i.e. Liza subverting Eddie's deductive reasoning through her own inductions, but Howie satirizing her analysis with an introduction to the problem of induction. You can still admire Dadey's wordplay and her monstrous implications though
>Do I need to know the historical Western mythographies and regional idiolects to appreciate Bailey?
Eh... It's not required for the main series, but it helps bigtime in the Holiday Specials.
