Garden City NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc.. Very Good+. (c.1951). Later Printing. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [light wear to spine extremities, otherwise a good sound copy, former owner's initials plus date & place of purchase written in ink along edge of rear pastedown]. An outstanding collection of short stories by one of the masters of the form. Collier's fiction was frequent source material for the Alfred Hitchcock TV anthology series (and other such programs as well); this volume contains three stories that were adapted for "Alfred Hitchcock Presents": "De Mortuis," "Wet Saturday," and "Back for Christmas." (The author also contributed several original teleplays to the series.) .
