Thanks, Andy. Both are yours.

Brandon House 947, Owen, Robert N., Man For Hire, 1965. VF 8.0. A very pretty copy that looks almost brand new but for the price which is very neatly scratched out- another tough book in any shape. Cover art by Fred Fixler. $80

Brandon House 729, Jay, Victor, Born To Be Made, 1965. FN- 5.5. Reading crease on spine and general wear but the cover is still clean and bright- hard to find title in any shape. Cover art by Fred Fixler. $120 ( There's a VG copy on Amazon for $275) Forgot to scan the back of this. There's a slight scuff but otherwise same as front. I'll add the scan later.

Brandon House 728, Marshall, Steve, The Three Day Lover, 1965. VF- 7.5. Nice bright copy with full color and gloss, just a little bit of general wear to front and back covers- tough in nice shape. By any measure, 3 days is impressive. $40 Sold to goldust40

Leisure Book 1208. Williams, J.X., A Fog of Passion. FN- 5.5. Nice solid copy with minimal wear and a slight spine lean. One of Robert Bonfils' best covers and what a friend of mind described as a “refrigerator magnet cover”. Scarce in any condition. $170 Sold to mstrange

Popular Library 331, Stilwell, Hart, Campus Town, VF+ 8.5 (unread). A very high grade copy of this highly sought after title. Great colors, all solid and tight with an unbroken binding. Very tough to find in this condition. I always thought this book must have been an inspiration to Wally Wood when he drew the cover for Shock Suspenstories 6. Classic cover by Earle Bergey. Scarce to find in this condition. $190 Sold to adamstrange

Thanks for your patience, guys. I'll resume posting at 6:00 CST.

That's all for now. As I said, I'll be back later to post more. Thanks to all for looking!

Popular Library 307, Atkinson, Oriana, Her Life To Live, FN 6.0. Nice looking copy with a slightly displaced portion of the text block (not terribly uncommon for books of this era). Another excellent cover by Earle Bergey. I love the back cover blurb on this book- "You dirty HOG!" $10 Sold to Surfing Alien

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 Sold to mstrange

Can't keep a good man down, James! Nice work on the recovery. I know it's frustrating and really challenging but keep up the fight. I know I'm not the only one that appreciates you here.

Nice books! The Incomplete Enchanter is new to me so on the list it goes. Thanks for sharing!

One of Mitchell Hooks' best covers, IMO. I really like his work and he did a fair amount of it. I've been looking for the right copy of this SEP for a long time (I don't like address labels and, of course, looking for fresh looking copies- tough criteria for these mags).

Fun conversation, guys! Always impressed with the titles, stories, and information you guys share. Now, I need to start a section of my library for books on music.

I don't know what you're referring to. It's not like I have an unusual affinity for titles that include nurses. Everyone has over a hundred novels about that beautiful profession and let's not act otherwise.

Seconded, he and Pat have been invaluable resources.

Gorgeous books, dover! That Strange Adventures 214 seems very undervalued.

That's a great book, James. Nice grab! I love Maguire's work. It's almost all paperback covers that he did (very little, else- off the top of my head, I can only think of a few digests and that's it). But he did a lot of work in his career. I think SA had a number, somewhere in the 800 range of different paperback covers. At one point, I was seriously thinking I might acquire all of them but after all these years, I keep finding new titles I didn't know about. 800 is a shockingly large number of books. I think I only have a couple hundred, at best. Maybe not even that. Stag Stripper is a great title. It has a lot going for it- Maguire cover, earlyish Midwood title, and as SA said, a great full female figure rendering. This is a great site for exploring cover art for this kind of thing. Be warned, though. A person can lose a lot of time looking through this site. Maguire is only the beginning... https://pulpcovers.com/?s=Maguire Edit: I just went through a few of the first pages and they have some new things since I last went through their Maguire posts. Including a few magazine covers and pulps. My error.
