The Dark Tunnel

No book-club issue of the 1944 Dodd, Mead first is documented in the sources consulted. The two practical traps on this title are not club editions at all: first, facsimile dust jackets, which are so common that most copies offered in the trade carry one — a jacket should be examined for modern paper and printing before it is accepted as original; second, the retitled reprints (I Die Slowly), which are frequently listed under the original title and can be mistaken for it. Ex-library copies with stamps, spine labels, and price-clipped or pasted-down flaps are also widespread.
