2 Carr, John Dickson Burning Court, The
Canada. Bantam Books . 1963 #J2706. Second Bantam Books Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Good Plus. Water Touched.

3 Carr, John Dickson It Walks by Night
Canada. Pocket Books. 1944 #101. Tenth Pocket Books Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. Water Touched. 
       October, 1944. No price is stated but $.25 is written at the top of the last page and this seems about correct for that year. 250 pages plus a listing of Pocket Books in print to date of publication, making for a good reference guide if you're collecting these editions. Very tight binding. Light tan paper, just barely beginning to turn a bit darker at the edges (¾"). Red colour on the edges.
Front Cover: A few light wrinkles from book opening are beside the Spine. An 1/8" tear is at the middle of the bottom edge and there's a partial triangular crease beside the bottom right edge. (It never creased, though.) There's a very small bit of edge wear at the top edge of the right corner.
Spine: A wrinkle/crease from book opening.
Back Cover: Some pale reddish colour bleed is at the Spine side and a 2" piece of Cover surface is just barely missing from the upper right side beside the Spine. The Cover's slightly off-center (about 1/16" at the top and ¼" at the left edge).
In General: The inside of the Covers and End papers are a nice red colour. Water touched the top edge (about 3") and the bottom edge (most of it) removing some of this colour. A light brownish water stain extends into the bottom (from 2", down to ¼"). The book's still flexible, though.
Story: A woman is about to be married when her husband-to-be is found decapitated. Before the murder there was talk of her insane first husband having escaped from the looney bin. So? 000897
