Ed McBain made his debut in 1956. In 2004, more than a hundred books later, he personally collected twenty-five of his stories written before that time. All but five of them were first published in the detective magazine Manhunt and none of them appeared under the Ed McBain byline.

Here are kids in trouble and women in jeopardy. Here are private eyes and gangs. Here are loose cannons and innocent bystanders. Here, too, are cops and robbers. These are the stories that prepared Ed McBain to write the beloved 87th Precinct novels. In individual introductions, McBain tells how and why he wrote these stories that were the start of his legendary career.

My New Toeless Socks
These toeless cotton socks have been my go to socks, I have had twelve surgeries on my foot due to a car accident on my right foot. I cannot wear close toe socks as the cause swelling and pain, now I can wear these soft toeless socks with no pain or swelling. I love I have the option of three different colors as well.

These boot slippers are awesome!
Color: Long Black, Size: 10-13
Love 'em! FINALLY found these after lots of searches.... I wanted "boot" type slippers FOR MEN, so in the cooler/colder weather my ankles stay warm, as well as my feet. (It's easy to find them for women, but for some reason pretty difficult to find them for men.) Well, Amazon must have added these recently, because I had checked a number of times this past winter/spring to no avail. At any rate, these are GREAT! I had worn out another somewhat similar pair I had found on Temu a while back, but they were rather floppy and really too large and wide for my feet. After a year or so they had worn out, so I started searching anew, and found these on Amazon. These fit just great and are very well made, having a thick fleece and padded sole inside and a non-slip sole on the outside. Very, very comfortable! Just what I wanted, and kudos again to Amazon!
