The contents of this magazine came from Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and typically contained most/all of the stories from the U.S. issue dated 2 or 3 months earlier.

The earliest issues of the magazine claimed to be an Australasian edition of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, although by the Jul-1958 issue the magazine claimed to be a British Empire edition, despite the fact that a separate British edition of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine was published in England from Sep-1957 to Aug-1958.

Alger's Library (Ottenheimer)

Country: US
Total Issues: 25

LeBlanc saw these advertised in Old Sleuth Series nos. 13 and 33 with the Ottenheimer imprint, but he never found an instance of an Alger's Library title with the Ottenheimer imprint. He thus believed that Ottenheimer may have been selling remainders from the Royal Publishing Company's Alger's Library.
