The Margery Allingham Omnibus (Penguin, 1982) This paperbound volume contains the first three Campion novels: The Crime at Black Dudley Mystery Mile Look to the Lady Despite their apparently misordered listing on the front cover, they are bound in publication order within the book. In Campion's Career, B.A. Pike claims that at least one of the novels in this omnibus is edited (for space reasons, presumably). I am comparing those editions that I have, and will post a better answer when I have one. Reproduced in this edition is a map of Mystery Mile, which is quite a helpful visual aid (see the Mystery Mile page for a scan of the map). The oddest thing about this book is the tagline on the front cover, which reads (idiotically, I feel): "His friends invariably underestimated Campion - so did his victims." Now, I ask you, victims?   There are no editions of the book currently available.
