If I see second hand copies of titles in this series I tend
to pick 'em up. Like Dixon, I've got two sizes. It looks like
the 'trade' size cam out first, as they have a 1988 date on
the page with the copyright/edition info, and the smaller
paperbacks are dated 1990.
I have the following in trade format:
Leigh Brackett, The Tiger Among Us Gil Brewer, 13 French
Street and The Red Scarf David Goodis, The Burglar
and these in pocket book format:
Henry Farrell, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane Kenneth
Fearing, The Big Clock
And I suspect there are others around the house.
