List of Ace miscellaneous double titles

List of Ace miscellaneous double titles

Ace Books published 8 Ace doubles that did not fit into their normal genre categories between 1952 and 1961 in dos-à-dos format.

Genres and collectability

Ace published science fiction, mysteries, and westerns, as well as books not in any of these genres. Collectors of these genres have found the Ace doubles an attractive set of books to collect, because of the unusual appearance of the dos-à-dos format. A few doubles were not in the three main genres, and those are listed here.

The list given here gives a date of publication; in all cases this refers to the date of publication by Ace, and not the date of original publication of the novels. For more information about the history of these titles, see Ace Books, which includes a discussion of the serial numbering conventions used and an explanation of the letter-code system.
