In 1965 Wollheim published an unauthorized Ace edition of The Lord of the Rings by J. Burroughs, which, in his inimitable fashion, he retitled Junkie. It was also during the 1950s he bought the book Junk by William S. Because these paired books had to fit a fixed total page-length, one or both were usually heavily abridged to fit, and Wollheim often made many other editorial alterations and title changes - as witness the many differences between Poul Anderson's Ace novel War of the Wing-Men and its definitive revised edition, The Man Who Counts.
