AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Ace Books began publishing genre fiction in 1952. Initially these were mostly in the tête-bêche (double) format, but they also published a few single volumes in the early years. The tête-bêche format was discarded in 1973, with later doubles being published adjacent to each other. Between 1952 and 1968, the books had a letter-series identifier; and after that date they were given five-digit numeric serial numbers. Ace stopped publishing its doubles series sometime around 1978.

Notes

  • Tête-bêche (from the French meaning "head-to-toe") is a publishing term which refers to a single volume in which two texts are bound together, with one text rotated 180° relative to the other. Books bound in this way have no back cover, but instead have two front covers and a single spine with two titles.
