Tom found a great copy of Supernatural Horror in Literature (1945) recently. Very cool.
I'd never seen a dust cover before, which appraently makes this a second edition. Who knew?? Anyway, thanks for the scan, my friend. I also included some edited snippets from current editions available, and sellers' comments with how some copies survived the intervening 60+ years or so.. If you have a copy, you can compare notes. Or if you see one, maybe you'll get a bargain one day.
