Last night, I found a tattered copy of the Ballantine mass
market paperback of Waltz into Darkness (my second favorite
Woolrich novel) for around US$ 0.45.
I was thrilled beyond belief as this was the first time I've
ever seen any of his writings available here and also because
this was the first Woolrich novel I've ever read.
As I was looking through it, two things stood out for
me:
(1) The list of characters which I read before is not to be
found here. Personally, I prefer its absence.
(2) In Nevins's introduction, he says, "You hold in your
hands the only unabridged softcover edition of Waltz ever
issued in the United States."
Now, I can't be certain about this (because the cover isn't
on this site), but if I recall correctly, the edition of
Waltz... I read before was the Penguin mass market paperback
with a cover similar to the one of I Married a Dead Man here:

.
If the Penguin editions were published in the 1990s, am I
correct in assuming that the version of Waltz... I read
before is indeed this same unabridged novel?
Thanks, Andrew
