This ACE Letter-Number series was printed at least three times with the same price and cover art. The only way to differentiate the two additional printings is the advertisements in the back. In the 1st printing, all of the advertisements were of the unnumbered type. In the second printing, probably February 1971, one advertisement has 8A-2-71 while the other advertisements just have numbers. The third printing, around June 1971, not only had the 8A-2-71 advertisement, but also 25-6-71 and [24]-6-7.

This is a collection of Harlan's short stories published in 1958 (when he was a member of the street gang The Barons) while he was researching Web of the City.
The Deadly Streets was originally published as ACE Single D-312 (1958).
Contains a new introduction (1983) Avoiding Dark Places as well as the 1st edition introduction Some Sketches of the Damned (1958). Short stories include Rat Hater; "I'll Bet You a Death"; We Take Care of Our Dead; The Man With the Golden Tongue; Johnny Slice's Stoolie; Joy Ride; Buy Me That Blade; The Hippie-Slayer; Kid Killer; With a Knife in Her Hand; Sob Story (written with Henry Slesar); Look Me in the Eye, Boy!; The Dead Shot; Ship-Shape Pay-Off (written with Robert Silverberg); Made in Heaven; and Students of the Assassin.
The odd thing about this re-issue series (and the other volumes of the Harlan Ellison books) is that ACE Books resurrected the ‘tombstone’ logo [just for this series] both on cover and title pages.

Paranormal

1970

c.1950; 1970; 1st ACE printing

The complete title for this volume is Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, Addressed to J. G. Lockhart by Sir Walter Scott, Bart.
The title at the end of Sir Walter Scott's name is Bart. "Bart." means baronet, which is the lowest rank of nobility, but one grade up from a knight. Both are called "Sir." These "letters" are epistolary lectures on the theory and practice and demonology and witchcraft. Scott was an expert in matters arcane and occult, as well as in the more mundane mediaeval history of Europe and the Middle East. Lastly, the blurb on page 1 ends with "It is with great pride that Ace Publishing Corporation presents this new edition, which follows word for word the original text." The text includes Scott's chapter headings, and footnotes but has no index.

This particular printing copies an earlier copyright page, but gives NO data on the current printing [except for the artist credit]. It has a new 10-1 number line, but is at least the 13th printing. It came out in April 2003 as part of the Ace 50th Anniversary year, although it has new artwork (by Matt Stawicki).

ACE Charter edition ~~ Up From Nowhere is the first story in a series called Tom Delos & The Guardians. It appears to be aimed at the "Young Adult" crowd and is a mixture of mystery, 'coming of age' and gang affiliation (hmmmm - reminds me of the 'juvenile delinquent' stories in the late 1950's to early 1960's). I am not certain it should be here but have to see what the other volumes are like in this series - more on this later.
