Bantam 945, Hal Ellson, Tomboy, 1951, VG. Solid copy with general wear but no major issues. Hal Ellson was a prolific writer of JD fiction in the 50s (not to be confused with Harlan Ellison, which I did for years). Wonderful cover by Robert Maguire. Look at her smoke that cigarette with such bitterness! $25

Ace D-433 (Double), Jack Bradley/Talmage Powell, If Hate Could Kill/The Smasher, 1960, VG/F. Very tight and bright copy with a very light opening crease on the spine but otherwise very fresh looking. Ace Doubles are tough to find this nice. $25

Berkley S1753, Ted Mark, I Was A Teeny-Bopper For The CIA, 1969 (4th Printing), NF. Great looking copy of this Ted Mark classic. Free to the next person that purchases a book. Claimed by mstrange

Avon 43, A. Merritt, Burn Witch Burn, 1942, VG-. A minor spine slant and general wear on this copy but otherwise solid. First 50 Avons can be tough in decent shape. The later printing looks almost identical except for the Avon logo at top. Imagine if this was a comic book! $15 Sold to Tupenny Conan

Signet 1335, Robert Switzer, The Living Idol, 1956, VG++. A little general wear and creasing on the front (as shown), the back is pretty clean otherwise. Gorgeous cover by Robert Maguire. $10

Kozy Book 154, Bowie Morton, Water Witch, 1962, VG/F (unread). Solid copy with just some minor creasing and edge wear. An incredible cover illustration, once again saved by the use of branches to protect the innocent. $20

Kozy Book 185, Nicky Weaver, Love Blood & Tears, 1962, NF- (unread). Another overall pretty copy with bright colors and freshness but some very minor general wear. I've searched and searched but can't find who did the art for these covers. It's well done work, all the same. $25

Kozy Book 158, John B. Thompson, Kiss or Kill, 1962, NF (unread). Very pretty copy with bright colors and freshness. Strategically placed flora keeps this cover from being for adults only. $35

They are and they're yours!

It's yours, Jack!

Those 4 are yours. Thanks, Mark!

Nice grab, sir!

Signet 1256, Bruno Fischer, The Bleeding Scissors, VG/F. Nice bright copy with another excellent cover illustration by Robert Maguire. Just a little bit of general wear but very solid otherwise. $20 Sold to mstrange

Gold Medal 888, Philip Race, Killer Take All, G/VG. Free to the next person to purchase a book! Claimed by mstrange

Pyramid Books G387, Vivian Connell, The Dream and the Flesh, 1959. VG/F. A nice clean, bright copy with an unbroken spine but some general wear. Another gorgeous Maguire cover. $28

Pyramid Books G520, G. G. Fickling, Kiss for a Killer (Honey West), 1960. Fine (unread). Very difficult to find this classic title with a tough black cover in such high grade. The cover art by Robert Maguire is one of his classics. $80 Sold to mstrange

Pyramid Books 21, Dorine Manners, Sin Street, 1950. A VG copy of this classic cover which pretty much says it all. $12 Sold to Jack Linguini

Pyramid Books 58, Vincent E. Burns, Female Convict, 1952. A VG- copy of this classic tale of women who committed crimes and thence locked up together. Some minor creasing but otherwise a solid copy. $20

This is the last bunch for this thread. Let's start big with something extremely desirable. Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan At The Earth's Core, Canaveral Press, 1962. A Fine copy in a Near Fine dust Jacket. Classic Frank Frazetta pen and ink cover, frontispiece and illustrations throughout. Tough to find a much nicer copy, this one is clean and bright and looks pretty close to new with a protective sleeve around the dust jacket. $200 Sold to mstrange

Nice grabs, Jack! They're yours.

Anything listed in the recap quoted above is now Buy One Get One Free (of equal or lesser value). I've sold a bunch of books via PM and I've fallen behind on this thread a bit. I think I'm current with everyone except for @Jack Linguini and @crassus. I'm scanning the last bit of books for listing in this thread and will list them shortly.

Sorry to hear this, Mike. You'll be in all of our thoughts. Take care of yourself, sir.

FTFY.

Amen to that.

I don't like your words. I don't even care if it's true, it shouldn't be spoken out loud.
