Part I described the introduction of Avon paperbacks into Canada in late 1941. Here I'll skip ahead a decade to a short lived series of Avon titles that were renumbered for the Canadian market.
There are 62 titles starting at C751 and ending at C812, 58 of which I have identified. Most have no print date but the few I've seen that do are spring 1953. I'm guessing the series ran from 1952 to 1953. They sold for 35 cents.
The US numbers range from 300 to 526. There are also four titles from Avon's Eton subsidiary in the series.
Here are a few examples.
Avon (Canadian printing) C757
(US printing number 366)
Avon (Canadian printing) C769
(US printing number 474)
Avon (Canadian printing) C775
(US printing number 481)
Avon (Canadian printing) C762
(US printing number 455)
