Holyoke, Massachussetts: Columbia Publications Inc., 1955. Soft cover. Good. 6.5" x 9.25. Another outstanding vintage collection of detective stories. CONTENTS: It's On Your Head! (Merwin), The Adventure of the Wrong Time (Smith), Starbrite (Hopson), The Great Lucifer (Dammann), The Wicked Flee (Scott), Cancelled in Red (Pawley), The Squarest Guy (Strong), One for the Birds (Wiegand), Yellow (McGarry), Doubled for Death (Rand), Annals of Crime (Thursday). 100 pages. CONDITION: a solid, square, unmarked copy, with significant shelf-wear (edge-chips on covers and last few pages, some surface rubbing, and two tears which have been discreetly repaired with near-invisible archival tape), its interior compromised only by a very slight age-tanning. This quite respectable, collectible copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag with archival backing board.
