Trap of Gold and Other Great Adventure Stories from Argosy (Popular Publications, Inc., 1952, 25¢, 124pp, digest, an, cover by Robert Doares)     NOTE: 2 slightly variant covers exist for this item, one with 25¢ price on cover, one without cover price. According to Robert Weinberg in his book “The Louis L’Amour Companion” this item was only available as a free giveaway to new subscribers to the (Argosy) magazine and is incredibly rare. That would explain the variant cover with no price, but it must have also been available on the newsstand as there is a variant with the 25¢ cover price. I own them both.
