I have forgotten the title and author. I last read this in 1960. The only other facts are that it ended in a cemetary where two people awaited the coming of the murderer at night. I seem also to remember that it might have taken place in the northeast and that it was a women author. I am 79 years of age and I have been searching for this book for many many years. I have checked out most of the major authors of that time period but have had no luck. Thanks ever so much for your help. 18043 WTB Wanted To Buy: Limited Edition Hardbound Book 06/21/09 I am trying to locate and buy a limited edition hardbound book containing all the color aircraft illustrations done for Coca-Cola advertising during World War II. Most of these artworks were done by a William Heaslip. Each one was reproduced on heavy cardboard during the war years and hung up where ever Coca-Cola was served. Most were 13 inches by 15 inches. A soft bound booklet was first released in 1943 showing some of these illustrations in miniature titled "Know Your War Planes". At the end of the war a limited hard bound edition was published in 1945 or 46 or 47. Possibly a library reference only. In the mid 1980's a second edition was released in limited quantities thru a soft bound discount book sales catalog. I would appreciate any help including a complete bibliography or where to buy a copy of this book. Thank you. 17842 WTB HELP Me Complete My Set. 06/04/09 I am trying to complete my Boxcar Children original Hardcover books #1 - #19. I am in need of #1 #3 #12-#19.
