Leisure Book LB1172, J. X. Williams, The Bronze and the Wine, 1966. VG/F. A very attractive copy with no major issues, just a little bit of surface wear. This is a subset of the Greenleaf publications, all of which are highly sought after but Leisure Books, Embers, and Companions are particularly tough. Cover art by Robert Bonfils. $200

Brandon House 947, Robert N. Owen, Man For Hire, 1965. VG/F. 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.

For those unfamiliar, all of the Brandon House books with Fred Fixler covers are highly sought after and exceptionally difficult to find in any condition. With the exception of this first book, all the rest I'm listing have Fixler covers.Brandon House 728, Steve Marshall, The Three Day Lover, 1965. VG/F. Nice bright copy with full color and gloss, just a little bit of general wear to front and back covers- tough in nice shape! Cover art is not by Fixler, it's someone else, not sure who. $30 Withdrawn

Starting up again in about an hour.

Personally, I don't think it would look better with a bunch of holes in the cover. I'd pay more for a book like that in it's current state than I would post-scraping.

Nice grab!
