If any of you are looking for examples of Gardner's pulp works, the following collections are probably easily found on the web search engines:

Erle Stanley Gardner's The Case of the Murderer's Bride and Other Stories, ed. Ellery Queen. New York: Davis (Ellery Queen Presents #1), 1969.
   Stories originally published mostly in the pulps 1931-1957. One of the
   stories ("The Candy Kid") features Lester Leith.

The Case of the Crimson Kiss, A Perry Mason Novelette and Other Stories. New York: William Morrow, n. d. [1970].
     Contains the title novelette and 4 short stories originally published in the pulps, 1928-1939.

The Case of the Crying Swallow, A Perry Mason Novelette and Other Stories. New York: William Morrow, n. d. [1971].
    Contains the title novelette about Perry Mason , the Lester Leith story
   ("The Candy Kid") from The Case of the Murderer's Bride, and 2 short
   stories (one featuring Sidney Zoom and one Jerry Bane -- another name
   for Paul Pry) which were originally published in the pulps 1931-1949.

 The Case of the Irate Witness, A Perry Mason Mystery and Other Stories. New York: William Morrow, n. d. [1972].
    Contains the title short story about Perry Mason, one story from The
   Case of the Murderer's Bride ("The Jeweled Butterfly"), one story about
   Lester Leith, and one additional story. The stories were originally
   published 1942-1953.

Erle Stanley Gardner's The Amazing Adventures of Lester Leith, ed. Ellery Queen. New York: Davis (Ellery Queen Presents [#8]), 1980/1981.

   Lester Leith stories. The Ellery Queen's Mystery Club was a short-lived
   experiment specializing in short-story collections and anthologies,
   almost always reprints. This book, however, contains only 3 of the 5
   stories from The Amazing Adventures of Lester Leith; the remaining 2
   stories are previously uncollected. They were apparently not published
   in EQMM.
