Yes, it's a pity no one has reprinted (facsimile or
otherwise) these issues of MERCURY MYSTERY "book-magazine",
although that may not've prevented my apparently mistaken
memory that the WOMAN IN THE DARK issue appeared in 1951
rather than in 1961. A MAN NAMED THIN, iinm, was the last
issue of MERCURY MYSTERY. TM

A number of these were reprinted in the nine Hammet
collections edited by Ellery Queen. The last, A Man Named
Thin, lists the contents of the whole series. I have gone
through that list and put the collection in which these
stories can be found:
"The Barber and His Wife" (1922) -- in A Man Named Thin
"The Sardonic Star of Tom Doody" (a.k.a "Wages of Crime")
(1923) -- in A Man Named Thin, with the later title
"The Joke on Eloise Morey" (1923) -- in The Creeping
Siamese
"The Vicious Circle" (a.k.a "The Man Who Stood In the Way"?)
(1923) -- in Woman in the Dark, with the latter title
"The Dimple" (a.k.a "In the Morgue") (1923) -- in A Man Named
Thin, with the latter title
"Laughing Masks" (a.k.a "When Luck's Running Good") (1923) --
in A Man Named Thin, with the latter title
"Itchy" (1924) -- in A Man Named Thin, as Itchy the
Debonair
"The New Racket" (a.k.a. "The Judge Laughed Last") (1924) --
In The Adventures of Sam Spade and Other Stories, with the
latter title (note, the Dell mapback does not contain all of
the stories in the original, so I don't know if it includes
this one)
"The Nails in Mr. Cayterer" (1926) -- in The Creeping
Siamese
"Death and Company" (1930) -- in The Return of the
Continental Op
"Night Shade" (1933) -- in The Adventures of Sam Spade, as
one word
So that's a few more collected.
