"Note: The dates of the following novels may be inaccurate, as some of them may have been published in a different order than they were written."

In the first three novels ("Pozwolenie..., Skarb..." and "Uroczysko"), Pan Samochodzik is a journalist, not a government employee. In 1990s Nienacki rewrote those three books so they would be consistent with the series. The books were released by various publishers, and it was not until 1987 that a single publisher ("Pojezierze") decided to rerelease the series in one graphical design.
