The Reader's Digest analogy is not valid in that they are not abridged. It's
a good way to get copies of hard to find books such as Goodis' Of Missing
Persons and the Lionel White you mention.

Subject: RARA-AVIS: The Detective Book Club
Recently I've stumbled across a 1950-1960 hardbound book series from the The
Detective Book Club - each volume contains three novels - one volume
included a novel by Lionel White (Invitation to Violence), Alan Amos (Fatal
Harvest) and Doris Siegel (How Still My Love). The series seems somewhat
akin to a reader's digest version of bestselling novels. Can anyone tell me
something about this series? Are the novels abridged versions of the
published novels?
