Fantastic #1 (Copy B), VG/F 5.0.  Solid copy with moderate wear.  Paper loss at the heel of the spine (common to this book).  Still solid and tight.  Classic cover by Barye Phillips. $40

Take

I remember Ed very well when he was dealing full time at conventions - an easy-going and laid-back presence. Bought a fair amount from him over the years prior to his move to Heritage -  he was always a pleasure to deal with.

Very sad loss for the hobby - my condolences.

Psycho by Robert Bloch     Crest Book s385   1st Printing  July 1960  $50

Tough black cover movie tie in with classic Janet Leigh front and back cover photos. This was my keeper until I managed to snag a signed one recently

 Fine Plus/VF minus. Great spine with very slight lean but almost no wear. Super glossy and new looking with off-white pages, no creasing. Just a few light bends and some light edgewear. A real pretty copy.
