ACE Single Title Paperbacks
01979 thru 09999
NOTE: By January of 1994, ACE Books had been taken over by Berkley. This marks the end of the ACE Letter-Number system for cataloguing. However, new titles simply started to use up the ACE Letter-Number series that had not been used. Thus, this is why from 00000 to 09999 there are numerous titles that do not conform to the old ACE Letter-Number procedure based upon the title.
Unfortunately, because of its size, we had to split this 5-digit number page into two parts.

| 02236 | -7 | Analog Yearbook II | Stanley Schmidt (Ed.) | Sci-Fi | 1981 | 1st ACE printing | Vincent DiFate | Short story collection from Analog. There were two printings using the same letter-number series. The one listed above is the published edition with a $2.50 price. ACE Books (and probably all of the other publishers) had what were called "promotional covers" that were sent to the bookstores (and booksellers). This allowed them to see what they would order, which is why the actual published book might have a different cover than the promotional covers. For this volume, there were not one but Two promotional covers for the same book! One promotional cover at $1.95, a second at $2.25 with the eventual released one at $2.50. All with the same artwork. Who knew that there was so much work on getting the cover art marketable. | ||||

| 02332 | -0 | Annie Jordan | Mary Brinker Post | Historical Romance |
1981 | c.1948; 1981; | A bit of ACE weirdness here. Originally published by Doubleday in 1948. The ACE printing is listed as 1981, however the ACE logo on the cover was (s'posedly) discontinued in 1978. In addition, the price definitely is not what would be marked for a 1978 printing, but still seems too high for 1981. | |||||

This is another example of the renumbering of old stock, but makes it difficult to define which is the true 2nd ACE printing. The only way is by the pricing: ACE 02600 was 50 cents whereas ACE 02601 was 75 cents. | ||||||

However, ACE 02680 does not have the white block for the letter-number series, although they both use the same cover art, so the question is which is the true 2nd edition. | ||||||

| 03300 | The Atlantic Abomination | John Brunner | Sci-Fi | 1960 | Ed Emschwiller | The Atlantic Abomination was originally published in ACE Double D-465 (1960) bound with David Grinnell's The Martian Missile. It appears that ACE Books changed the spine code from a '020' lead-in to '441' in August '69 and ceased printing the small editions in '70. Thus this volume can be placed into that time interval. |

Glen A. Larson and Robert Thurston |
Sci-Fi | 1988 | 1st ACE printing and PBO | This is another TV tie-in noveliation. There appears to be a large number of these and I only have a few. This is the ONLY ACE Book publication in the 'Battlestar Galatica' universe (thus, a true PBO). There is supposed to be a reissue of the first one by Ace in 1985 with 05107-3 The remaining tales of the "Battlestar Galatica"saga were issued by Berkley, which later reissued so many titles on ACE after Putnam bought them. Of the original series the first 10 were novelizations of episodes but 11-14 were new.
