 logically - don't laugh: publishers sometimes do act logically - beagle books'd've published mmpb editions of the second and the thrid fontana books of great horror stories in 10/1971 & 11/1971 respectawigglilly; unfortunately, berkley books had published a berkley medallion merkin mmpb of the thrid in january '71 - but it's possible either mmpbed the second, and maybe berkley medallionned the fifth & onwards - yr hmbl srppnt.'s no record of ever having seen such mmpbs -

- do you have copies of them?
