    I was not aware of these variants before, thanks for the heads up! Luckily, I was able to locate a copy of the one I care about easily once I knew it existed.

    Another Frazetta Book Club Edition cover. Showing it front/back/complete:

    I think these two issues are far closer to the Giant-Size category than the first 10 issues, which were closer to annuals. But obviously they're a bit of an outlier either way. Still worth mentioning in this context in my opinion.
  4. OtherEric
    Yes. Both issues are worth tracking down.

    Snagged at KAYO books this weekend. The Warrens are purely readers but I couldn’t resist at the dirt cheap prices. The Thrilling Adventure Stories, while not super high grade, is plenty nice for my purposes and probably worth what I paid for all four:

    Seen on the wall of a sandwich shop in SF. Griffin was always fascinating.

    I did check them against the list of tells on comixjoint, the 1 definitely has the glitch on page 17 and art bleeding off the pages in the back of the book. On the 3, I think this is the registration mark in the pentagon on the back cover:

    DIDN'T have the other issues.
  9. OtherEric
    Nice books! The Skull #1 was $8, the 3 and 6 were $6 each. And I think they had multiple copies of all of them. They did have the other issues or I would have grabbed them too.

    KAYO Books provided some undergrounds after Haight-Ashbury failed me. As near as I can tell, all bit the Yellow Dog are 1st printings:

    And a hardcover, but I don’t know of a better thread for it. I now have all the Famous Forty Oz books in vintage hardcovers:

    And some assorted publishers. The Damned is a bit beat but it’s a stated first:

    Next, some Avon’s:

    On to the Aces. Dell 1 and Ace D-1 in one day feels like a nice combo:

    Today was the big one… went to KAYO books for the first time in two years, and then followed up with City Lights and Green Apple as a chaser. Just going to post some group shots, if anyone wants photos of specific books let me know. I’ll start with the Dells, the #4 is the early, non-mapback version:

    A few readers from KAYO today. Particularly happy with the Clark Ashton Smith in Wonder Stories and the Atlas digest. The stripped cover on the Astounding would normally bug me, but for $3 I’ll take it any day:
  17. OtherEric
    Only one Lovecraft item from KAYO today, and it’s a minor one. Still fun:
  18. OtherEric
    Minor pickup today, I couldn’t resist adding a Digit as a type sample to my collection. I love the two shillings sixpence price:
  19. OtherEric
    I’m here, but no underground comix in sight. What is this world coming to?
  20. OtherEric
    Today’s find, from Books & Bookshelves in SF:
  21. OtherEric
    I get why not everyone would like that cover. But I hadn't seen it before and just added it unironically to my want list.
  22. OtherEric
    Nice! I actually saw John Waters walking towards the store as I was leaving a few years ago, but I didn’t say anything since I didn’t figure out it was really him until a couple minutes later. I’ve already made a tentative appointment, I need to verify it in a couple days.
  23. OtherEric
    I won't get to KAYO until next weekend. I'm down here about ten days.

    Just picked this up from Borderland Books in San Francisco. The Curse of Yig by Zealia Bishop, it collects the three revisions Lovecraft did for her. Published in 1953 in an edition of 1217 copies.

    Picked up at Dog Eared Books in San Francisco today:
