In 1985, Tor published two Keith Laumer novellas in the dos-a-dos format with the "Tor Double" label (The Other Sky/The House in November), but it was not part of the series.[1]

At least one more in the series was prepared but never published: Esther Friesner's Yesterday We Saw Mermaids paired with Lawrence Watt-Evans's The Final Folly of Captain Dancy would have been series number 37.[2]

Notes

  1. 1 2 3 4 This is a sequel to the first book, and is bound together the same way up: i.e. not in dos-à-dos format
  2. This is not in dos-à-dos format
