About This Item
New York: B. E. C. Publishing Company. Very Good-. 1947. 1st Edition. Magazine. This edition is a small trade sized magazine with cardstock covers and a stapled spine. The magazine is in Very Good- condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The rear cover has some creasing and the bottom spine end of the book cover has a small tear and a triangular chip missing. The text pages are noticably darkened / toned and are quite fragile. Some of the stories are apparent first publications. This publication was short lived - running only for three years ( from March 1945 through July 1948) and also, apparently, with a small circulation as issues are quite scarce. The stories included in this issue are: Cross out a Killer by Lee Markward, Hate Goes Hunting by Frank Nash, The Twenty-Dollar Bill by Ken Greene, The Specter by Guy de Maupassant, and, Final Fandango by Roy A. Elliott. It is possible that this magazine is an off-shoot of the one (Scientific Detective Monthly) that was created by Hugo Gernsbach in 1930, though the histories of the pulp magazines I've found so far do not support this theory. There are currently no copies of this magazine available online for sale, and no copies listed in Worldcat. .
