Yikes! I think the answer is "as many as you want there to be." In addition to the "Nancy Drew Mystery Stories," which at least go to #170 as noted, there seems to be a "Nancy Drew, Girl Detective" series, a "Nancy Drew (All New) Girl Detective" series, and a "Nancy Drew Journal" series.

http://www.nancydrewsleuth.com/mysterystories.html "Still in print today are the classic Nancy Drew Mystery Stories (R)--volumes 1-56." (Apparently, there have been updates to these: according to this web page, Nancy's convertible was originally a roadster. I think the "yellow spine" books to which the website author alludes are the only ones I've ever read.)

This is not a complete list, but it should keep you busy for a while.
