Various Authors. Argosy (U.K.) U.K. The Amalgamated Press. 1946 Volume 7 Number 8. Mass Market Paperback. Good Plus. August, 1946. 1 Shilling Thrupence is the original price. 112 pages plus Back Cover advertising. A stitched binding. Spine: A bit crinkled from wear and it's torn at the top and bottom (¾"). A small (¼") piece is missing from the bottom. In General: The Front and Back Covers are dull newsprint type, not the glossy ones of later years. I believe England had a currency shortage which kept things a bit austere for a few years which precluded buying quality newsprint. This issue was mailed to Canada from England and has the original address and stamp on the back, dated 1945. 1½ Pennies to mail a book Overseas in those days! The upper right corner is bent (½" inward). Stories by: Mark Twain, Daudet, Kersh, Molony, et al. 000438 Price:
