Your home town must have had some interesting book stores, MB....
Believe it or not, I bought it up at one of the variety stores in my neighborhood. It was sitting on one of those four-sided metal paperback stands that you turn around to check out all the books. The title intrigued me, I started flipping through, it looked interesting, so I picked it up (no doubt with whatever magazines had DS articles in them that day
).
I dug it off of one of my bookshelves and here's the cover (in case anyone else is interested):
The publishing date says 1940, so it might still look the same for all we know.
The chapters that hooked me that day in the store have titles like: "World Champion Lady Vampire of All Time" (which is about the Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the central character in John Karlen's film Daughters of Darkness
), "Vampire 1932 from Brooklyn, N.Y.," "The Caged White Werewolf of the Saraban," "Magic Pentagrams and Circles," and "'Astral Body' on a Boat". All things DS-related.
And there's even a chapter that makes reference to the I Ching, with all 64 hexagrams diagramed and the 49th hexagram circled. I'll defintely have to check that out again because, in part, the chapter says: "No. 49, the
ko hexagram, is the one that got us into trouble."
