We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

AMAZIIMCMY DEAR HOLMES/ A body riddled with bullets, and a revolver by its side — merely a trifle for the great detective.

Behind this rough exterior — believe it or not — it's only Joe E. Brown. Detective work is a pipe for Joe, who claims to be the greatest snooper of them all. He'll trace your favorite criminal for a nominal fee — and you don't have to send a scent! 51
