By Don Whitehead. Not sure I'd have gone with calling this compendium the "cream of the world's most bizarre crimes," but it was a different time in 1961, and the cover design has an elegant straightforwardness to it.
The PB is in good shape for its age: uncracked spine, Time magazine sub card untouched in the middle (see pic), sits nice and straight with tight pages. Some page toning and rubbing to the bottom of the covers/spine, but otherwise in nice reading shape.
