Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.
Except as noted below, the spellings of names and the titles of movies in the original book are unchanged here.
Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. In versions of this eBook that support hyperlinks, the page references in the List of Illustrations lead to the corresponding illustrations.
Page references in the captions of some illustrations did not seem to lead to relevant text.
Page 249: “Tell-tale Heart” was misprinted as “Tell ale Heart”; the correction here is not definitive.
