Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good. See scans and description. New York: Renown Publications, Inc., 1972. The March, 1972 issue of Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine, that being Volume 30, Number 4. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 128 pp. Very Good, with small "x" on front cover (scan); covers are moderately rubbed in places; white-background rear cover shows some soil; the inevitable age-toning to the newsprint-paper interior pages is of the standard degree, for this inexpensively-produced series (see all scans). Superior spine. Firmly bound, and very readable, should you choose to do that; also collectible, in several categories. Lead story, "A Man of Violence", is by Brett Halliday, the creator of the great fictional detective after which this series is named. Other contributors include Richard O'Brien; Edward D. Hoch; Thomas N. Scortia; A.F. Oreschnick; Edwin Schorb; Herbert Harris; and Jerry Jacobson. See scan of contents for story list. L202.
