These are both pulp authors, and very good ones. Chadwick is
a personal
favorite.
Cook and Miller list the Chadwick stories, but the Wandrei
title isn't
listed. --

Fangs of the Cobra: Ten Detective Aces vol 11 num 3
Finding specific issues of old pulp magazines can be
difficult. Being
willing to spend money to obtain them often doesn't make it
possible for you
to obtain them!
It's also possible that these stories may have been reprinted
in
anthologies. They could even be the titles of anthologies as
well as story
titles.
There are folks on this list who may be able to recall which
stories
appeared in which anthologies. You might get lucky and find
them in a $10
barnes-and-noble bargain anthology. Or, these could have been
reprinted in
small press publications with limited distribution.
Out-of-print small
press pubs can be as difficult to track down as the old
pulps.
I'm curious. In what sort of conversation were these stories
"highly
recommend?"
