You can search the usual sources of ABE books and E-bay. Many of these titles show up occasionally

Now, you need to get some of your titles straightened out. It is always easier to find a book if you have the names & titles straight.

BULLARD OF THE SPACE PATROL, stories by Malcolm Jameson, 1891-1945; Andre Norton ed, 1951, World Pub, HC51 206p $2.50 Hard cover only.

SPACE SERVICE, SPACE PIONEERS, SPACE POLICE, GATES TO TOMORROW are all edited books. Only hard cover editions exist. Look for those X-library.

SMALL SHADOWS CREEP and BALEFUL BEAST AND EERIE MONSTERS are both slightly oversized anthologies. BALEFUL does not credit Ms Norton on it's cover (nor title page) so look for it under the title.

MURDERS FOR SALE, by Allan Weston (Andre Norton & Grace Allen Hogarth) was only printed in a hard cover edition in the UK. You would be much better to read the book in it's later reprint/retitle as SNEEZE ON SUNDAY.

AT SWORDS POINT, SWORD IN SHEATH, THE SWORD IS DRAWN all appear occasionally on the market. There are currently 3 copies of AT SWORDS POINT on E-bay. However, getting SWORD IN SHEATH will be harder than the other two. That one seems to be rarer.

Getting ISLAND OF THE LOST will be tricky. Several of us 'hard-core' Norton collectors are looking for this, which is the UK edition of SWORD IN SHEATH.

ROGUE REYNARD can occasionally be found in it's oversize picture book form or it's more recent paper edition.

TEN MILE TREASURE only came out in paper.

WOLFSHEAD is the first Hard Cover Edition of SECRET OF THE LOST RACE, 1977, UK: Hale, 157p L3.60. It will be much easier to find the paper editions.

GARAN THE ETERNAL Contains "People of the Crater" and has been often reprinted in paper.

OUTSIDE and "Outside" are respectively a Novel and a short story, written in 1974 and 1975. The short story was reprinted in MOON MIRROR (1988)

THE WHITE JADE FOX has both a hard cover and paper edition. The hard cover is slightly oversized.

Perhaps you were thinking of DAY OF THE NESS by Andre Norton and Michael Gilbert, illus. Michael Gilbert?

RIDE THE GREEN DRAGON (with Phyllis Miller) only appeared in hard cover.

FOLLOW THE DRUM first appeared in 1947. You'll be better to look for the 1971 paper reprint.
