Publications.
The
Merril/Zissman story is charmingly ramshackle pulp work.
A
ne'er-do-well
ex baseball pitcher murders with a thrown rock, one
which
causes a wound "in" his uncle's head. For some reason,
the
preposition
seems infelicitous.
The
original purchaser made some notes in pencil on the
pages:
"96

On
succeeding pages:
"Pulp=This

"HOLLYWOOD
DETECTIVE, Feb. 15c" (I take it this and the following is an
inventory of other purchases that day)
"SPEED

"WEIRD
TALES, 15c dim print"
"MAMMOTH
MYSTERY, 25c"
"SUPER

"All
