 american news company (anc) avon book company new avon library p/b first printings°
an avon mystery

cover art unsigned, uncredited colour artwork
interior b+w illustrations (woodcuts) by howard simon (unsigned, possibly credited)
cover price (none; newsstand p/bs were presumed to be 25¢ unless elsewise stated)
320pp. including titles, indicia, b+w illustrations etc., end pp. advertising

° - there were five near-identical printings of the book 1942-1945 according to the hearst corporation avon books mmpb ninth printing's indicia publishing history; it is not stated that this includes or excludes the avon monthly murder digest (iiuc) p/b edition.
the signal differences between the printings are the rising number in the listing of other titles in the avon books series in the end advertising pp.

i do not know whether the number of b+w illustrations from howard simon's woodcuts is the same in all five printings, nor that the extent of the edition was maintained

likely to exist with canadian-carcassed variant; should any bookcatter or browsing visitor have or have access to a copy of this printing, it'd be appreciated if you'd be so good as to check the publishing history and if it states the carcass or ''book'' was canadian-printed, to post here giving the form of words used to announce this.

 ISBN 0-380-00690-1, as printed on the copyright page, differs from the number on the spine (380-28209-125) and presumably refers to an earlier edition/printing.
