: You and everyone else in Norton Fandom, Jesse. Andre Norton and her friend Grace Allen Hogarth wrote a mystery titled Sneeze On Sunday under the joint pseudonym Allen Weston. In 1954, however, neither writer had the "clout" that Ms Norton has today and the publisher Hammond & Hammond changed the title to Murders For Sale which has nothing wharsoever to do with the story. Several years ago Ms Norton had it reprinted with the intended title. Look for Sneeze on Sunday by Norton & Hogarth to read this wonderful story. There are paperback as well as hardcover copies under this title. Hope this helps--Paul To add my two cents (and I've posted Jesse directly)
My additions are that if you insist on getting the original book, there was one miracle book for $25 on the web, but my copy cost $250. AND with the major Norton collectors looking for this, you might have to Auction this at a higher price. The original book is available on Loan from the Library of Congress, but here is the specs for the retitled version. SNEEZE ON SUNDAY by Andre Norton & Grace Allen Hogarth
