LA Bantam - Nobody Heard the Shot

The 25th book published by Bantam Publications is Nobody Heard the Shot: An Aleck West Detective Story by Donald Barr Chidsey. Notwithstanding the "Authorized Abridged Edition" blurb on the cover I can find no source for this book.

In common with all but one of LA Bantam's books Nobody Heard the Shot is 100 pages long and is 110 mm (4 5/16") wide by 152 mm (6") tall. Cover and pages are made from high acid pulp paper. The page collation is:

[1] title page,
[2] copyright including List of Chapters,
3-100 text - 15 chapters.

The copyright dates are 1940 and 1941. The back cover lists 12 of the books from 1, The Spanish Cape Murder to 28, Strangers in Flight.

In common with most LA Bantams there are variant covers. The strong blue/light blue, strong blue/vivid yellow text and illustrated covers are below.
