Transworld Publishers Ltd. of London reprinted at least eleven of the Fu Manchu books in paperback under their Corgi Books imprint (series: Corgi Crime) during 1967 and 1968. The books were distributed not only in the United Kingdom but in Australia and New Zealand as well. Price in the UK was 3s6d; in Australia, 60c; in New Zealand, 4s6d or 45c. The cover art is quite interesting but no artist is identified. |

The Drums of Fu Manchu |
|
Notes: (1) As the above list makes clear, the books were not issued in their proper chronological order. Whether Emperor Fu Manchu was included in the set is not known. (2) The name "Fu-Manchu" was hyphenated on all covers. From Daughter of Fu Manchu onward, the hyphen was not used on the title page or in the text. (3) The books carried no identification of the cover artist (or artists). (4) The books were set in a variety of type faces and point sizes, apparently to control the number of pages. |
