Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. First Edition, First Printing. A collection of nineteen short stories selected by Stout and Greenfield from a variety of popular magazines of the 1940s, ranging from Woman's Home Companion to Weird Tales, from Cosmopolitan to Speed Detective, from The Atlantic Monthly to Black Mask, with authors including Paul Hoffman, Seabury Quinn, Jack Snow and Ray Bradbury. The stories are about crime -- of this world and other worldly -- and, the editors claim, "The timid will cringe and scurry; the bold will pack a rod and search fruitlessly for another "Rue Morgue." With an introduction by Stout explaining what makes "a good story." The text is clean, tight and unmarked but with some age-tanning as is usual in books of this era; there is a slight spine lean; the boards show a slight bit of edgewear. The dustjacket is badly tattered and chipped at the edges with most of the lower spine missing, though front and back panels and the flaps are largely whole with nothing significant missing; not price-clipped. An unusual addition to a pulp fiction or Stout collection.
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Fine in a Very Good jacket, unclipped ($2.75), a few small closed tears and chips at the flaps and edges. Black cloth with silver gilt lettering on the spine. Square and firmly bound with a red top stain, clean internally. A collection of supernatural and weird tales from the likes of Ray Bradbury and Seabury Quinn, among others.
