 this edition lists a unicorn mystery book club - presumably h/cvr - edition for 12/1952 in its publishing history, which i've never seen: does any bookcatter out there possess such an exotic beastimal?

(it's quite likely to exist - fredric brown was a major mystery writer, as well as a master of his unique, somewhat eccentric, many and various viewpoints or takes in sf & fantasy; but it may be a variant binding of the shasta edition - and there again, it may not. . .)
