Howard Baker Gem Volumes

  Home Page Friars Club Book Index Magnet Index Gem Index Frank Richards Contents  
For the purposes of this list, I have included ALL Howard Baker Gem reprints: Gem Volumes and Greyfriars Book Club Volumes; as well as Howard Baker Editions..

There were far fewer Gem Volumes published; quite simply because they sold vastly fewer copies than the Magnet Volumes. These volumes (except possibly the GBC Gem Volumes) have always been easy to obtain.
