Help appreciated parsing these.......

37d. Like reader getting into old book key made hard to read (11) - OBLITERATED (I think)

38d. Without any locks, unrestrained (4-6) - BALD HEADED fits the 'without any locks' part, but i can't find anywhere that gives that as a definition for 'Unrestrained' so could it be something else?

55a. Edited letters he has, in a way, discovered stealing? (3-6) - RED HANDED? (Discovered stealing)

37 literate in O B and D (for key?)

I think there was a forces expression of "going in bald-headed" to mean "without care for consequences"?

I can see ED in RoaD, but HANDE?

Got it - H and E. Cheers Chris, many thanks.

Unusual construction - well spotted, brendan.
