because d'Artagnan was not a musketeer from the beginning

its called "three" because it begins as three when d'Artagnan comes, and though it may be the 4 of them all together, it is not until quite a bit later in the story that he officially becomes a musketeer.

It wouldn't make sense to give away the fact that D'Artagnan becomes a musketeer in the title of the book. It would take away from the plot

um, duh, we all know he's going to be a musketeer because that is the purpose of his existence. He's obsessed, that's his goal, that's what he's going to become.

Becorse dŽArtagnan wasnŽt a musketeer in the beginning.
he coud also have called it "ŽdŽArtagnan and the three musketeers" but he didnŽt

I agree with the previous poster on this one - the books begin with d'Artagnan's encounter with "the three musketeers" and ends with him joining them. As far as I can remember, Athos, Porthos and Aramis are actually called something similar by the other musketeers - "the three inseparable" or something which hasn't been quickly translated from Swedish to English... *sheepish smile* I really need to read the books in English...

Be Safe!
