Ellery Queen, Master Detective
 Frank Daniels has assembled quite a bit of EQ-related information, with an especially detailed examination of the Ellery Queen comics. Navigation is a bit inelegant, but the content is worthwhile (as in his explication of the Barnaby Ross historical paperbacks).

Royal Bloodline: Ellery Queen, Author and Detective
 Francis M Nevins is probably the foremost scholarly writer on Ellery Queen, and this Edgar award winning study of  the Queen books and the authors who wrote them is an essential for any EQ fan. It's out of print, and copies are scarce, so do not hesitate to obtain one when you can. The book is full of spoilers; you may want to put it aside until you have savored the complete Queen canon.
