The Tor Doubles
From 1988 to 1991 Tor published dos-a-dos style doubles. Tor did not use "Tor Double" as an imprint but would advertise these books under the "Tor Double" banner. As a convenience, we are using the Tor Double publisher name to group these titles.

- #37 was planned as The Final Folly of Captain Dancy by Lawrence Watt-Evans and Yesterday We Saw Mermaids by Esther Friesner with ISBN 0-812-51406-8. Apparently booksellers were unhappy with the Tor Double line as they did not know how or where to shelve them meaning the series itself got shelved.
- Another book that looks like it could have been in the Tor Double series is The Jungle / Clash by Night (Nov-1992) but this has been verified as being the novel The Jungle packaged with a short story. It does not mention "Tor Double" nor is it a dos-a-dos.
