In the 1950s there was a line of cheap paperbacks from a publisher
called Ace: Ace Double Books.  Each volume was two novels printed "dos-

Ace printed a great many science fiction titles in this format. I don't
know why I should be surprised that they printed other lines as Doubles,
too, but this is (almost??) the first I've heard of their doing so.
