Short Stories (Australia) (about)

Short Stories (Australia) [October 1924] (1/-, 176pp, pulp, cover by Edgar F. Wittmack)
Reprint of the March 25, 1923 (US) issue. It is not certain that this issue is Australian as there is no contents page in the issue seen, but the date precludes it from being the British reprint edition (which was bimonthly in 1924) and the price suggests Australia. Details supplied by Morgan Wallace.
