Export Publishing Bibliography Part I

I've alerted readers to a couple of my guides to early Canadian paperback publishers. I've also been working on a bibliography of the other large publisher in the late 40s - Export Publishing. This is a more detailed accounting than the guides. Each of the 190 books has an entry which includes an image of the cover and bibliographic information.

Here are a couple of examples. The first is one of the first two books Export published without a number. No date on these early books but May-July 1948.
