Source text (please read only from this text!): https://archive.org/details/TheThrillBookV01n0119190301/mode/1upThrill Book was a short-lived genre fiction precursor to Weird Tales featuring some of the same talent like Greye La Spina, Seabury Quinn, Clark Ashton Smith and Francis Stevens but with a somewhat broader scope that included crime and spy stories, westerns and adventure tales in addition to the sci-fi, fantasy and horror that Weird Tales was known for. In this first issue, marvel at the short story debut of noted Woman of Weird Fiction Greye La Spina! Thrill to the part one of three of the lost race jungle adventure serial "In the Shadows of Race"! Sink into the curious doppelgänger tale "The Man Who Met Himself"! Be amazed at part one of two of the mysterious and mystical tale of an ancient Egyptian curio in "The Jeweled Ibis"! All this and more! (Summary by Ben Tucker)
