Harlequin Authors

There are 259 authors (ignoring pseudonyms) whose books were published by Harlequin from 1949 to early 1960 - the first 500. Over 70% (183) had only one book published. Here is the list.

Not very many known today. Doyle, Maugham, a few more recognized by crime fans and others. One of these is David Goodis who has been honoured with a Library of America edition. You'll note on the cover of that edition the Dell reprint of Dark Passage. This is the only Goodis book published by Harlequin, renamed Convicted.

Collins White Circle Authors Part XIV - Erskine Caldwell

In an earlier post I discussed Erskine Caldwell's three books that the Canadian publisher Wm Collins Sons & Co. Canada published in the 1940s.

Mr Caldwell was a very popular author once upon a time. His Trouble in July, for example, remains in print - at a university press no less. 

Here are four versions in paperback including the Collins's, which was reprinted in 1949, 1951 and 1952.
