Carlson Collins Pocket Book Index

The Index of Pocket Book Format Anthologies

edited and compiled by Carroll M. Collins/K. M. Carlson

 Arthur Hayes, Bancroft, Ontario. 1960. Mimeographed. Unnumbered. (8 X 11). This was a fan collector project and was released at a science fiction convention. The first section is an alphabetical listing by author, with the title, year, publisher, book number, and page count. The next section is very interesting because it lists hundreds of British paperbacks in the same format. Scores of companies are covered like, Panther, Swan, Pinnacle, Curtis-Warren, Hamilton, Corgi, Scion, Whitman, Authentic, Spencer, and many others. A number of anthologies and collections are included with their contents. This section includes many items that most people probably haven’t heard of. This is probably one of those rare items that you aren’t likely to see.
