    Two-Books Detective Magazine:   (about)
    Initially reprinting “Two $2.00 Mystery Novels” as Two-Books Detective Magazine, the magazine changed slightly with the third issue to Two-Book Detective Magazine with a tagline of “Two Full-Length Mystery Novels”, each of which was original. After a couple of issues this expanded to “Four Full-Length Mystery Novels” which made nonsense of the title, so that was changed a few issues later to New Detective Magazine.
