Tor Doubles
From 1988 to 1991 Tor published the Tor Doubles series of paperbacks containing two novellas by different authors (later sometimes with a bonus short story thrown in). Tor never used "Tor Double" as an imprint but as a convenience ISFDB uses the Tor Double publisher name to group these titles.

The series started out with dos-a-dos format publications with two "front" covers but towards the end Tor was publishing these as doubles, i. e. sequentially (this started at #18 as "A New Wrinkle On Tor Doubles: ... some ... will present a classic novella ... with an entirely new companion piece or sequel especially written for the Doubles by a major SF author of today. You'll be able to recognize this sort ... by the distinctive cover format; other Tor SF Doubles will continue to feature the popular back-to-back format, with a separate cover for each 'side'.). Tor was also inconsistent in wording the series name, noted in the table below. Also, toward the end of the series' life Tor dropped the series name and number from the front cover though continued to number the publications on the copyright page.

Apparently booksellers were unhappy with the line as they did not know how or where to shelve the dos-a-dos books; Tor tried to save it by quitting the "popular back-to-back format" for the ordinary reprint Doubles but ultimately the series itself got shelved.


 * #37 was planned as The Final Folly of Captain Dancy by and Yesterday We Saw Mermaids by  with ISBN 0-812-51406-8.
 * Another book that looks like it could have been in the Tor Double series is (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.
