Introduction
The British titles are the same as in The US. But there is one exception. Thriller Diller (CB6) is called Hollywood Horror. You canīt find any English editions of the Find Your Fate Mysteries.
In England there are at least two hardbound editions.
There are also at least five paperback editions. Two collectors - Sven and Ian - have done some great research on these and You can see the result if You click on the links below. These editions got new English covers.
