- Title page states "New Avon Library" and "Wood Engravings by Howard Simon," referring to b/w illustrations throughout the pages of the book. Cover artist not explicitly stated, and there is no visible signature.
- No catalog number on outside cover, but ad for current Avon releases on inside back cover number this book 26.
- No price stated, but the current Avon releases (through #73) advertised on the inside rear cover state a price of 25c.
- According to information in the 9th printing, there were five Avon printings from 1942-1945, at least one of which was the "Avon Murder Mystery Monthly" issue. The printings of the pb-size version are most easily distinguished by different advertised releases on the inside back cover. The latest advertised release in this copy, #73, appeared in 1945, so this is likely the 4th or 5th overall printing, both of which are dated 1945.
