"First Aide to Murder" *Saturday Home Magazine*. (n.d.) ***************************************** But that probably takes care of the First Appearances aspect of the Hammett bibliography. OK, who's up for compilations and secondary material? ;-) Eddie Duggan --------------------------- - # RARA-AVIS: To unsubscribe, say "unsubscribe rara-avis" # to majordomo@icomm.ca
