I'll list a couple of books first but have to meet someone for a late lunch.

Popular Library 215, Williams, Ben Ames, The Silver Forest, VF/NM 9.0 (unread). A stunning copy that looks bright and fresh. Some page toning but otherwise, an exceptional example of this classic “headlights” cover by Belarski. Scarce to find in this condition. $35

Listing a nice pre code horror book. Accepted methods of payment PayPal/Zelle or personal check.  Returns accepted within 4 days of receiving item.  Shipping is free with BIN price.  

Ken Shannon #7 CGC 7.0 OW/White pages Highest on census.  Classic PCH Cover Jack Cole and Reed Crandall art $2750

Fahrenheit 451 by  Ray Bradbury    Ballantine Books  No. 41       True 1st Ed   1953     $175

True 1st Edition, published before the hardcover.   Iconic Joe Mugnaini cover art.  Notoriously they fall apart due to the cheap glue used.

Fine Plus Plus    Square, tight and bright. Appears very lightly read. Spine is tight with supple glue, covers are clean with great color and very minimal light creases. Great supple pages with only light toning. A superior copy with a great spine and no loose or uneven pages - rare to find completely intact like this.

Heh, had to go looking, not quite as subtle as some of his paperback art, and it gets even trashier

Batman vs. The Joker   Signet D2969 Book No. 3 in the 1966 Series       Stated 1st Printing May 1966       $50

Killer Joker cover - real tough with the pink cover - the edges chip very easily.

Tough to grade. Appears unread, spine is square and unbroken. Has some finger bends to the covers, light edgewear. Pages are off white, inside covers are only lightly toned. Much better than usual copy.
