The ''Encyclopedia Brown'' books have experienced some enduring popularity.

In 1976, the [[Mystery Writers of America]] honored Sobol and his Encyclopedia Brown series with a special [[Edgar Award]].<ref>{{cite web|website=The Edgars|url=http://www.theedgars.com/edgarsDB/index.php|title=The Edgar Awards|access-date=2011-01-31|archive-date=2019-04-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404232840/http://www.theedgars.com/edgarsDB/index.php|url-status=live}}</ref>

Educators have used Encyclopedia Brown in classrooms to instruct students in skills such as writing reports. In 1986, the Society for Visual Education, Inc. published a filmstrip series with accompanying audio cassette tapes and workbooks for elementary and middle schools' use. Four Encyclopedia Brown stories were utilized: "The Case of the Missing Statue", "The Case of the Happy Nephew", "The Case of the Kidnapped Pigs", and "The Case of the Marble Shooter". According to [[WorldCat]]'s library catalog listing, "As super-sleuth Encyclopedia Brown solves four mysteries, he shows students how he fills out his reports, including selecting a topic, gathering information, taking notes, making an outline, and revising and editing."<ref>{{cite book|title=Encyclopedia Brown Introduces Report Writing Skills|oclc = 16980494}}</ref>
