Sir! Droll Stories (Volitant Books, 1967, V7501S, 75¢, 192pp, pb, an)
Anthology of stories from Sir! magazine. Numerous (less than one per story) full-page pictures by Irwin Greenberg, which I am unwilling to call illustrations since they have nothing in particular to do with the stories and could as well have been in any order. Another is on the cover. Mixed types, sf, supernatural, crime, mostly contemporary. Not actually droll for the most part.
