  • Publication: Dry SpellPublication Record # 367208
  • Author: John Creasey
  • Date: 1967-00-00
  • Catalog ID: 1920
  • Publisher: Four Square Books
  • Price:
    3/6?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).
  • Pages: 157
  • Format:
    pb?Paperback. Typically 7" by 4.25" (18 cm by 11 cm) or smaller, though trimming errors can cause them to sometimes be slightly (less than 1/4 extra inch) taller or wider/deeper.
  • Type: NOVEL
  • Notes:
    • Second Four Square printing, first edition with this title
    • Revised edition? This edition is listed as "rev vt of the above" in the series bibliography at SFE, rather than merely "vt": not only a variant title but a revised work. That is plausible but library records do not report it, and do report matching 1963 and 1967 page counts 157.
    • British Library (BL, below) gives title "[The Drought.] Dry spell." and notes "[A reissue.]", evidently in reference to the 1963 New English Library edition. In the database the latter is Four Square Books #918 (see).
    • Price from front cover, which displays also the Four Square logo and "Four Square Crime", a publication series probably.
