 cover art by henry fox (signed)
cover price 3'6
160pp. including titles/masthead, etc.

contents:
body & soul (novelette) as by randall conway
that deep black yonder (ntte) as by a. j. merak
dust (ntte) as by max chartair
where dead men dream (short story) as by peter laynham
the keeper of dark point (ntte) as by michael hamilton
the visitors (ntte) as by j. j. hansby

(all are pseudonyms of john s. glasby, who prob'ly wrote even more of badger books' output, than did the notoriously shy and retiring, sometime reverend, robert lionel fanthorpe, mbis.)

 badger books supernatural stories #107, edited anonymously by samuel (saul/sol/solly) assael, the fictional ''john spencer'' of john spencer & co. and hence of badger books, advised as published bi-monthly at this stage, but had slowed closer to a quarterly, and even a six-monthly schedule in the final years of the badger books story...

all of the british general paperback publishers were hit by major paperbacks distributor, thorpe & porter's bankruptcy in 1966, which left them short of ~three-to-six months' sales to t&p with no realistic hopes of seeing even 1s in the £1 (even 5%) of the money owed them.

unlike transworld publishers / corgi books, and hamilton & co. (stafford) ltd. / panther books ltd, ''john spencer'' & co. failed to raise new capital - and - for hamilton's - to eventually lose control of / sell their publishing interests to one of the larger companies buying up uk p/b publishers: ''spencer'''s did publish a few more p/bs after retiring the badger books imprint, including reprints of at least a couple of john glasby's-as-by-a. j. merak (and with much more modern-looking covers) - but essentially they faded fast and were gone; and an era in british paperback and fiction magazine publishing was all but over.
