Surfing Alien

Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Hunt Collins (Pseudonym of Evan Hunter) Pyramid G214 1956 $15 1st PB edition. Excellent Bob Lavin cover art on this dystopian novel by Evan Hunter, who mostly wrote juvenile science fiction in addition to his mystery/noir portfolio Looks brandy new, square glossy and tight with just a small crease at lower cover from storage. Shows almost no wear.

I loved reading Mutant as a Teenager, now I'm a bald-headed mutant Seriously that Gnome Press edition is one of only a small stack of books that survived my book collection purge when I moved out into my first apartment

I had a few spare minutes so I updated the recap. Still some nice books left. Have a pretty full work schedule today though so probably not going to be able to list until this evening. I'll be getting to some more science fiction then.

Thanks It's a thing for fellas of a certain age Really surprised this copy lasted that long, it's a beauty.

Great gift. But don't read this copy Worth preserving

I'm going to cut a break here. Have a few things to get ready for work tomorrow . Thanks for all the takes, likes and comments I'll turn more seriously to the Science Fiction portion of our little get together when I return, hopefully tomorrow.

So Dead My Lovely by Day Keene Pyramid Books G395 1959 $15 SOLD to OuterBoroGuy Great read. A twisted mix of Noir and JD by Master Keene, with a cool Maguire cover to top it all off. Looks Fine, Bright and glossy, has old moisture damage that gives the book a bit of ripple to it.

Killer copy

Great take A monument of a book. Takes a digest bag to contain it!

The Crack In Space by Philip K. Dirk Ace F-377 1st Ed. Paperback Original February 1966 $35 SOLD to NerV Cover art by Jerome Podwil. Very Fine Unread, Square and glossy, perfect spine, pages tight, creamy and supple. A slight bend to cover at lower right. Off white pages. Looks like a new book

Dune by Frank Herbert Ace N-3 True 1st print 1967 $110 SOLD to TheComicsPreacher This book has exploded in recent years, at least partially because of the movies. Many bad printing identifications out there. Only N-3 on the cover is a 1st print. John Schoenherr cover art. Hugo and Nebula winner. Tough to find these still square at 544 pages. This one is, and glossy and tight. Lightly read. Has a few minor edge chips, light bends, etc. but a very attractive copy of a monster of a classic PB.

World Without Men Charles Eric Maine Ace Books D-274 1st Edition $30 SOLD to Goldust40 Fridge magnet GGA cover art by Ed Emshwiller Pretty VF minus copy. Square, tight and glossy with hairline creases and minimal wear. Name written in pen on first page.

Swamp Thing by David Houston and Len Wein Tor Books 48-039-3 First Printing April, 1982 $40 SOLD to Susanville Awesome Swamp Thing/Adrienne Barbeau painted cover and movie tie-in Killer unread copy with light wear to the extremities.

Death Out Of Focus by William Gault Dell No. 1012 1st Print March, 1960 $50 SOLD to crassus Signed by Robert McGinnis on the title page. This is an unread copy that someone carefully taped the spine to and had McGinnis sign. Not sure of the purpose of all that except, despite the tape, it's a beautiful book with a great cover and the signature is tops. I have a bunch of signed McGinnis covers and can't keep them all so I'm going to pass a few on here and there. This is the bargain copy for sure.

Timeless Stories for Today and Tomorrow Ed. by Ray Bradbury Bantam A944 PBO 1952 $20 SOLD to NerV Great collection selected by Bradbury, includes Bradbury, Jackson, Kuttner & more The amazing wraparound cover art is uncredited but looks like Charles Binger to me VF minus. No crease at all on the spine so it's an unread copy that has a few color flecks off the edges and a tiny crease on lower back left. It's a fat little violume.

Tough Kid From Brooklyn Robert Mende 2nd numbering of this title. Avon T-99 1955 $15 JD + GGA This one has everything that I like. Beautiful Raymond Johnson Good Girl and the evocative Brooklyn Bridge/Waterfront background. Glossy, bright and tight. Spine has slant, small loss on front and scratches on back cover

She'll Be Dead By Morning by Dana Chambers Popular Library No. 238 1950 $22 SOLD to Goldust40 Love this cover. Not a known Belarski but in the style almost better than he did. Fine.

Bar The Doors Selected by Alfred Hitchcock Dell #143 1946 $20 SOLD to NerV Classic Gerald Gregg Horror cover. One of the best Dell Hitchcock Horror books. Stories by Wells, Crawford and Derleth, among others. A square, tight fresh copy with great gloss. Some light lamination creasing that doesn't break color keeps it out of high grades but man, it feels and mostly looks like one. Great pages.

Two kinda beat but complete early Ace's D-61 and D-69 from 1954 with two PBO's in there $10

I have to take a trip to the store. Should be back in about an hour
