And now for a little fun. Listed in this section of the database, you will find different covers for the same literary works. In some cases, the books were printed by different publishers. But usually, a printing house would demand the absolute rights for the books they represented, at least in that format (i.e., paperback). Often, publishers such as Pocket Book and Signet would reprint books using the same edition number, but would change the cover art to fit emerging tastes in their readership. For example, there are at least three different covers for Signet #1,000, Kiss Me Deadly, by Mickey Spillane. I have not included those here, since you would normally see those just scrolling through the Signet database. On the other hand, Dell printed A.A. Fair's (Erle Stanley Gardner's) Bats Fly at Dusk, as numbers 254, 691 & D348. Each edition has different cover art. Those ARE listed in this section, since you would NOT normally notice those as you go through the Dell section. Likewise, Pocket Book might later reprint 25¢ titles under it's Cardinal label as 35¢ offerings. They almost always had different cover art. Those, too, can be seen in this section. The scans are not labeled. Click a thumbnail and read its web address to see details. This section is FAR from complete, and frankly, it probably never will be. I found these titles by sorting the database from my own collection. In other words, all of these are MY scans. The thousands of images donated by other collectors are not yet represented. Still, I think they're fun to browse. Enjoy.
