Is there a US edition? What I picked up recently at a local
Goliath BookPulper was the Orion, which btw has a lousy
binding in the oversize paperback. If there is a US edition,
I wonder why it wasn't in evidence...but perhaps this was a
copy from a previous order. Mention is made within, iirc, of
the recentish latter '50s/early '60s bottom-of-the-market cf
digest stories collection with--it was Crippen and Landru,
eh? As being for the more completist Block head. TM

There is in fact an American version. I haven't got it yet,
but I've read three previous Block anthologies, and he's a
terrific short story writer. I
only wish he wrote more Scudder shorts.
