 Frankenstein by Mary Shelley  Lion Books No. 146  1953   1st Mass Market PB   edition   $65

Rare in any condition, this one has super nice covers, my former keeper. Great cover art, I think it's by Lou Marchetti.

Fine plus. Square and glossy with a few light bends. Page block is slightly uneven but tight. Private library rubber stamp on title page and bottom page edge. That all said this is a sweet copy, the best I've had for sale.

I Was A Nazi Flier - A German Pilot's Actual Diary    Dell Books No. 21     1943    $75

Gerald Gregg's legendary Nazi/Skull cover is very hard to find in grade. This is a beauty for this book, rarely seen like this these days.

New York in peril is the back instead of a map. Crazy times in 1943.

Fine Plus/VF Minus.   Square, tight and bright with light wear, a few light bends. High grade for a Golden Age Dell.

 Jailbait by William Bernard  Popular Library #1392  2nd Printing  1952    $12

Stone Cold Classic Belarski JD cover art and one of the most famous pb covers ever for sure.

Bargain on this tough to grade copy. Pages are misbound - they are still glued in the binding but in sections, very uneven. Covers in pretty nice shape though.
