I did when I first collected back in the 80's & 90's and my Heinleins were some of the few I kept when I sold that first collection around 98 or 99. They had such great covers and content. But I only ever found about 15 of them in the wild because you got what you ran into back then. I'm re-ignited now to go after the ones I'm missing just from talking to folks

One of the areas I need to button up is finishing up my vintage Heinlein pb's. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Heinlein pb's and other Science Fiction pb's get took amid the bevy of Frazetta and GGA I put up. So I did a fair amount of buying this week to see if I can upgrade what I have and fill the holes in that area of the shelf. I actually did not currently have a 1st pb copy of The Door Into Summer which may be the most beautiful Heinlein Signet cover. Although I love all of them, this one by Paul Lehr isn't constrained by the blank borders and fonts.

Glad you appreciate them. I am never going to hold on to or sell every book I have and glad to get the wheels in motion to share stuff. In my interactions with you guys on the couple of sales threads, I've really come to appreciate everyone's different tastes and likes. The process of sorting out my books and letting things go, and also trying to find some want list type asks I've had in PM's has given me new resolve to try to focus on some ares of my own collecting I need to button up

Avon was pretty prolific in the streetwalker cover department, both with photo covers like Perversity and Bubu, but also painted covers like the Ray Johnson classic Neon Wilderness Of course our pal @Randall Dowling will probably tell ya that "The Private Life of a Street Girl", an Ecstasy Novel Digest cover by George Gross may be the wildest streetwalker cover of all. I'm an equal opportunity collector, I want them all

True Magazine June 1954. Cover art signed by Raymond Johnson. Not on our checklist or Men's Adventure Magazine lists for his work. We cast the net wide for our article but there's always avenues that you only know when you are made aware. This cover is an excellent example of Johnson's sense of humor that I pointed out in the article in Illustration. Dude in the woods is shaving with the edge of an axe. Probably hard (impossible) to do but his buddies look impatient 😂

Well you know I don't usually go for lower grade books but this is one I've always ached for to add to my JD collection but it's pretty much $500 and up for anything in the VG vicinity at retail. I lucked out in a UK auction that didn't get too well noticed. The spine is split, the page block in two halves, water damage and writing on the rear cover but I'm happy to have any copy with an intact front cover Now if I can just luck out on a Digit Junkie
