David Wilt, in Hardboiled in Hollywood: Five Black Mask
Writers and the
Movies (Bowling Green State U.P., 1991), acknowledges the
"excellent
collection" of the Rare Books and Manuscripts area of the
Library of
Congress, where he was able to find "nearly every BM story by
the authors
covered in this work." [He covered Horace McCoy, Eric Taylor,
Dwight
Babcock, Peter Ruric, and John K. Butler.]
He also mentions a resource that looks valuable: E. R.
Hagermann's Black
Mask Index.
