*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Leading this week’s selections from the Bute Collection is an issue of Crimes By Women. Originally by Fox, this is a contemporary reprint from the Canadian publisher Superior from 1949. Fox was known for cheap and sleazy productions, and this Canadian edition reproduces the stories from the Fox original. Just in case you were in any doubt about the type of women depicted here, let me give you the story titles: ‘Kitty Sarlo, the Female Leech’, ‘Nitro Nellie’ and ‘Man Trap’. A very respectable copy with bright colours, minor cover wear, a small lower spine split (about 1 cm) and slight foxing to inner covers.
