ARROW – Paperbacks Stock Check

notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment on ARROW – Paperbacks Stock Check

The Lisa Bastian – Arrow 641 – “A deep sea thriller with a real salty tang.

Fair Maids Missing – Pierre Audemars – Arrow #858

Arrow #858 1966 1st vg++ Price includes UK Posting – For other postal rates to more distant locations please contact me.

£6.00

I thought I had a few more titles but the stock check revealed some gaps, they may have been misfiled, but it is more likely that I have sold them and forgotten to update my records.

Arrow like other paperback publishers at the time had an eclectic spread of authors and subjects. It picking out covers to illustrate their range I seem to have missed the most prominent and prolific author they featured, Dennis Wheatley.

Arrow Stock Check (1)

I always like to compare how illustrations change over time, sometimes influenced by a film or to justify a price increase (note the 20% increase in these two editions.

The range covers a non fiction account of miniature submarines, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, part of John Creasey’s prodigious output and an illustration of how language changes over time, though it is difficult to think what Ann Hepple’s  book title could be meant to mean today.

NOTE Last Stock check was nearly two years ago

TRUE CRIME –

notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment on TRUE CRIME –

Softcover / Paperback. Condition: Nearly Very Good. First edition. Paperback. Good girls – and bad. Good girls from nice homes, and daring boys who coaxed them on forbidden dates. Bad girls and the men they incited to acts of violence. Teenagers looking for trouble and jaded wives who’d already found it. These are the women who were first snared, then destroyed, by passion’s brutal web – in this startling collection of real-life crimes. Featuring amongst others : Jerry Thompson, (executed October 15, 1935); Clark Hill (life imprisonment); Robert S. James (executed May 1, 1942 for murder by rattlesnake) and Charles H. Hope (life imprisonment); John Reginald Halliday Christie (executed July 15, 1953); Amon J. Gusler (executed January 3, 1947); Joseph Dunbar Medley (executed December 20, 1946

A tough, racy, true account of Donald Mackenzie’s life of crime in London and California, written when, in prison, he decided to write about crime rather than commit it.

My Life with Diana – Paul Renin

Published by BEACON PUBLISHING Co. Leicester undated but about 1949. This copy, though very rare, has the rear cover missing. This is what Beacon says about their copy that they are asking £40.00 for ” Beacon Publishing Co., [ca.1949]. First edition. “Diana Wilton looked extremely attractive that afternoon sitting on the lounge in the smart sitting-room of her Chelsea flat and smiling across at me through the drifting smoke of her cigarette”. According to his publishers, Paul Rénin “knows women better than they know themselves” – suspicious wife, glamorous widow, famous actress, etc. Crown 8vo (19cm). 112pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers; some wear to spine; some internal creasing; a reasonable copy of an uncommon title. Exchange stamp of the “Modern Book Stall’s” [sic] of Leicester, Loughborough and Coalville Market, on upper wrapper and final leaf.

A lot of these titles were produced when it was difficult to get American Paperbacks in the UK and saw the opportunity to cash in on the popularity of Hank Janson. You can check out my Hank Janson page.

Gangsters All by George Stanley

This is a 32 page stapled booklet published by Mitre Press, undated but Mitre published the first edition (and as far as I know only edition) of this book in 1945. I can’t find much out about George Stanley but he seems to have been published from 1932 to 1950. The cover (which I like) is by “Vic” Posted to any UK address

A strange listing but it might light a light somewhere. A typical “Mushroom” offering from Pictorial Art Ltd. 23 Bloomsbury Square London WC 1. a small 32 page booklet with four stories. Imperial Overture by D H Hatfull, Of Unsound Mind by Gae Lyster, Ali the Faithful by V J Hanson and The Lighthouse Prison by D K Howe.

The only one who managers a presence on Google is V J Hanson who was writing under various names in the early 50’s with even a couple of Sexton Blake credits. I can’t find a lot about the publishers either, I am estimating round about 1950 (give or take 3 or 4 years) as it is undated.

A “Mushroom” Publishers example, 32 (though it says 31 on last page) small booklet 6″ X 4″,. The “Mushroom” period is a reference to the times of paper rationing during and after WWII. Ex servicemen were offered a paper ration as a “resettlement initiative” that was after books were published on any paper that could be found, some were printed on greaseproof butter wrappers, and were very short, though this example is particularly small and short.
