Retitled Harlequins Part VIII

Between 1949 and 1959 Toronto mass market paperback publisher Harlequin published 455 titles that are new editions of books published earlier. Here I listed the 89 for which Harlequin retitled their edition. 

Here are two publishers with three retitled Harlequins each. The E. V. Timms titles are from Angus & Robertson, an Australian publisher. The Raymond Marshall (pseudonym of James Hadley Chase) titles are from British publisher Jarrolds. Harlequin also published 13 Jarrolds and one Angus & Robertson with the title unchanged. Original title is in square brackets.
