Love the report, Bob. 
The market will figure itself out, and I like your approach (selling books and spreading the joy).  A smart guy like you will find more stock, but the "keys" among the commons won't ever be the same
Newbs should skip the boxes, smell the pulp, brush the flakes off after a good read, explore all the genres.  Just stay away from my Ranch Romances -

Speedy being very heroic:

And being substantially less heroic:

Was some people who died, died.
Was some people who died, died.
I pray they knew Christ 🙏 and they died!

Damsel in distress? Nope. How about a hand, cowboy?

This one *definitely* is Maguire, though
The Sins of Billy Serene - William Ard (1960.Monarch 152) cover Robert Maguire PBO

William Ard has many an noir appearance here on the pb thread even though this one looks a bit sleazy, woo!  My wife's like - you're reading harlequins!  
Ard also wrote a number detectives under the name of Bob Kerr, one or two under the name Bob Wills, and later turned West for a long career with the cowboys under the name Jonas Ward.

Caught a very nice super tight copy of this one with just a bit of chipping and dinging, great colors.
The Sin and the Flesh - Lloyd Thomspon (1954.Lion Library 005) cover

Paperback Steve sees a possibility of Maguire.  I think Bob Schulz or Al Rossi are possibilities, too, as both did work on these early lions (which are totally awesome) with some similar features.
I could find nothing on the author besides this single novel (hardcover release as Hear Not My Steps) and this possible lead of one published in Italy but it might be the same book:

Or there's a single story by a Lloyd Thompson way back in 1919 in Detective Story Magazine. Signs point an alias
A rough wraparound - I'll probably smooth it out at Flickr (digitally).  My copy's so nice, I'm not gonna flatten it out I hope no scanners are reading this, the shame

Earl Steffa Moran on this bottom one.

It's a weird one. Fictionmags doesn't call it a pulp til the 20s, but my issue has a lot of fiction in it (almost all with auto themes) including a couple of prolific pulp authors (Pendexter, Gunn).  There's Cartoons and illustration but also some intellectual articles in addition to a women's department.  Built like a pulp for sure, though.  Chicago put out some unique magazines.  I'll put this one in the scanning box.

It turns into Cartoons then Cartoons Magazine then back to Cartoons Magazine and Wayside Tales and then finally returns to just Wayside Tales.  Then I think Hubbard buys the Cartoon Magazines title??
Phil S-P has some of the windy history here:

Don't have any of these below but have a bunch of puzzle pieces images (these are a small sampling) in my files, what else is new






Hubbard's v01n01 1923-11

which morphs into cartoons and movies -


A long and winding road.  The Chicago mags are always hard to lay hands on, too (scarcity as much as price, but one thing leads to the other when we're talking extreme scarcity).  Maybe there's no relation between the first series of Wayside Tales which ran at least up to the one I have in here in 1906 but I'm guessing longer and Cartoons/Cartoons Magazine but there's a lot of commonality that makes me believe they are related

For anyone interested I posted a show report with some photos from last nights Pulpalooza show in the GA thread in my “Son of my 50 Year Junk Obsecession” thread. Check it out. 
A great time was had by all!

Oh wow! Old magazines and BBQ. I would have been so there!

 

That's a Worth Carnahan (who I've been writing about and whose fam archives I've scanned and been editing). One of the very first Harry Donenfeld (DC) pubs right there.
A grand? 😢

A new redhead in the collection.  I'm sure she's not going to cause any trouble whatsoever -

This cool little girly digest caught my eye. But the $1K price made my hand burn so I had to put it back…

I kind of wish my Grizz had kept Jonas Valanciunas instead of moving to Steven Adams, but he was great for us, too. 
I grew up in punk rock and always made fun of "granolas" (my parents generation, though neither were dead heads) but have warmed to the fact that an explosion of color is actually counter-culture in this day and age.
A boy friend of my daughter's left this T-shirt behind with my daughter, and she gave it to me:

I put it on for a trip to the gym the other day.  My wife said, YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS

The Skeleton of death made an appearance…

Nice books   Do women get slapped around in Harlequins?    I don't think I've read an Ard novel where some dame doesn't get a knuckle crack (or at least a backhand). I guess it was a thing in those times
