Movie novelization of remake (from Dimension Pictures) of an
earlier B-grade science fiction movie. This one stars William
Shatner. Note that Bernhardt J. Hurwood was a prolific author in the
ACE occult/paranormal genre. Interesting that Hurwood's name
is not on the cover with the title.

47410 HADRIAN KEENE The Laughing Woman (1970; 1st thus; movie tie-in; photo cover)
This is an unusal book in several ways. First, the ACE logo is different than any I have ever seen and secondly, the adult nature of this movie novel reminds me of some of the Ballantine releases of this time period. If any AIL users has a good copy of this, please drop me an e-gram.

48475 DOROTHY EDEN (aka DOROTHY ENID EDEN) Listen to Danger (c.1958; 1967; nd; ACE Gothic Mystery)
This edition has the letter-number series in a white block
suggesting use of earlier edition. The cover art is also the same as
ACE K-267 (1967). However, the top banner is now the "first in
gothics" label with the woman and moon graphic. Thus, this would
be the 2nd ACE printing.

48478 DOROTHY EDEN (aka DOROTHY ENID EDEN) Listen to Danger (c.1958; 1967; 4th printing 1973; ACE Gothic Mystery)

Original cover art for ACE 48862. Watercolor on paper, on illustration board. Image size is approximately 15.5" x 20.5" (artist or artists unknown). A gorgeous, ethereal work used as a "wraparound" cover for this ACE paperback by Charles Fort that probes the mysteries of the paranormal.

48913 RICHARD WRIGHT The Long Dream (c.1959; 1972; 2nd ACE printing)
The Long Dream was originally published as ACE K-100 (1958) with different cover art. I have a 1958/1959 date for this printing, but have been unable to establish if the ACE K-100 edition was prior to the 1958 Garden Press hardbound edition.
Original cover art for The Long Dream by Richard Wright. Gouache on foam core with an image size of 32" x 20."

49560 FRANCES J. S. EDEN The Love Gift (c.1970, nd; 1st ACE printing; ACE Nurse Romance)
Nurse stories were common in the D- and F-series of ACE singles. This appears to represent a revival of interest with a special grouping. Note the series title at the top of the cover - "ACE Nurse Romance Series." I believe this was done because of other publishers (e.g. Lance, McFadden. etc.) who also released a number of these nurse-related stories during the late 1960's and early 1970's.
49561-4 FRANCES J. S. EDEN The Love Gift (c.1970, nd; 2nd ACE printing; ACE Romance)
