  1. Another nice one and interesting about the lamination. I like the interior illustrations too and don't think I have any pb's with them.
  2. Thanks, but with all the other cool books being posted I'm obviously missing plenty. Now if I could only find that show where SurfingAlien's table is set up at. No "angle" reading. Except for the digests, I need to get reading copies of most of the others. It's a pain, but with some exceptions, I can usually find beat up copies for a few bucks and pass on the ones I don't destroy to family and friends. I also recently got a Kindle Oasis as a gift and am surprised I like it so much. I still much prefer books, but as my eyesight dwindles with age, it's nice to have the adjustable brightness and font sizes. Having a gazillion books to choose from doesn't hurt either.
  3. Thank you and for the nudge to start reading his books in the first place. I could do without ever hearing that song again but I'm glad the decades wait was worth it for you. I just noticed they made a film version (1948) with Edward G. Robinson that I'll have to try to track down.
  4. And some Hopley's. Is it considered a pseudonym if the name used is part of the real name but not the commonly used version? Cornell George Hopley Woolrich.
  5. Cool cover. A hot babe in a red dress, a Rondo Hattonesque bad guy and an Atlas globe.
  6. I'm a big Savitt fan but not real familiar with his interiors. Thanks for posting. Even though it's not one of my favorite Savitt covers, I still kick myself for not bidding on the Hi-Yo Silver #36 cover auctioned on Hakes 7 or 8 years ago. He sure liked his horses.
  7. Glad to hear that the short story Woolrich's are good too. I've read 4 of his books and liked them all. His reputation is well deserved.
  8. I read it a month or so ago and really liked it. The Hollow Man is next on my Carr "to read" list.
  9. I really like The Corpse in the Snowman cover but it gives me the creeps.
  10. Thanks for another good recommendation, Pat. It took some interesting turns after what started off looking like a straight forward Apollo 13 type story.
  11. Thanks. My Ace Double D and F want list is pretty simple. I just need all but 12 of them.
  12. Nice books and thanks for the interesting info, Pat. I'll be sure to read this one soon.
  13. Nice one. I'd agree it's a first and any of the first 12 books with Globe ep's, 12 titles inside and 12 on back cover should be firsts unless new info comes out. The only slight question would be that laminated Big Four copy you pointed out earlier but I'd go with your prototype theory on that one.
  14. Great looking book. It also instantly made me think of Heck's Horrific #3 cover (minus the bullet hole).
  15. It's been a long time so maybe I'm remembering wrong but I think he even mocked Kirby's cover art here, thinking The Watcher (Galactus) was a regular sized person but just drawn with horrible perspective.
  16. I'm sure there's earlier but this is November, 1946. Not my copy.
  17. It's hard to get attention when the other book he posted had a half naked woman in a bubble. I didn't know anything about the book though, so thanks for the info. Definitely on my list now.
