Lightweight, affordable, and endlessly passed from hand to hand, more than 120 million ASE books were printed between 1943 and 1947. Curiously, Dashiell Hammett’s classic hardboiled novel \u003cem data-end=\"487\" data-start=\"467\"\u003eThe Maltese Falcon\u003c\/em\u003e never appeared in the line-up.
