Untamed Darling by Jack Woodford Avon No. 403 1952 $75 SOLD to Microbia A staggering NM/M copy of this classic Peter Driben cover of Eve offering the apple.

I'm going to try to get through more books today than I did yesterday, so I'm going to take the tack I do on cheapie threads and just do 1 pic on anything $20 and under (except a Double cover) and try to keep the descriptions down. I'll note any glaring defects on the back and of course will provide more pics if anyone asks.

Thanks for the "takes" I followed the auction closely because there was so much top notch material for the market to absorb, I hoped there might be a bargain or two among the lowly paperback cover art. There wasn't. Reefer Girl didn't surprise me, that is the most I've ever seen for a sleaze paperback cover OA. The study for it sold for 20K years ago so this was in the range where I expected it to be. Quite a few of the pb covers went far beyond estimates, the Raders and a couple of lesbian themed doing particularly well. Maybe it's time to sell my undercopy of "Reefer Girl"
