About "Nine Unlikely Tales for Children".
The Toronto Public Library has three editions at The Osborne Collection, a reference collection of children's books. There is also one circulating copy but it doesn't specify the edition.

While the Osborne (and Merill) collection do not circulate, they do allow people to go into the library and photograph (but not scan) the books. I did that for ALL the Thorne Smith books last year and I have been slowly making ebooks of them since then. I really have to get working on them again. Note that the various versions of "The Stray Lamb" has several significant chunks of text missing.

I've put in a request for the circulating copy of "Nine Unlikely Tales for Children" and I'll let know if it's suitable for scanning or photographing. It looks complete, all editions show 297 pages.
