The 1940's series are tall format, like Signets, and almost all thin page counts. IIRC they all mostly the same logo like the two posted and have that distended figure cover art (that kinda grows on ya). Jim Thompson's first pb and an early Goodis are in the line. The second series has a whole bunch of rare dust jacketed pbs. 

The 1960's series are all short format, like Pocket books, and range from thin to thick page counts. I believe there are Newsstand Library logos and Newsstand "Magenta" logos but they all look pretty similar. Tons of great Bonfils covers, Sloan Britain (Elaine Williams') first book, Richard E. Geis, a bunch of Charles Willeford titles etc
