  1. She was the Talk of the Town... One of Earle Bergey's best girls...
  2. There are pics of a few on Pinterest from old ebay auctions. The samples there look like late 70's early 80's sci-fi digests and paperbacks.
  3. It's definitely a wild composition - Ironjaw, The Statue of Liberty, and... The He-She... What the heck is going on there??!!
  4. My old copy of the He-She cover that I bought from Howard Rogofsky...
  5. Here's the middle volume of Double Star - I guess they didn't want to put Heinlein on every cover Exploration Team is worthy though!
  6. Great pic - love all those specialty publishers - I've had quite a few over the years but only a short shelf now Bangzoom had an incredible shot of a bookshelf filled with them iirc...
  7. Loving the Sci-Fi, Pat Calhoun!!! ... The only thing better than one hi grade Perelandra is two hi grade Perelandra!!! One of my all time favorite Avon Sci Fi covers... or any sci-fi covers at that!!!
  8. Heinlein at his height of powers... and one of Don Sibley's masterwork covers...
  9. Babe Ruth had a lifetime record of 94-46 and an ERA of 2.2770. His ERA is 16th best among all major league pitchers. He allowed only ten homers in 1,221 innings. Ruth was the AL ERA champion in 1916 for the Red Sox with a 1.75 ERA. He pitched 29 scoreless innings in the World Series, a World Series record that would stand for 42 years. His World Series record was 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA. Ruth posted 67 career wins by 1917, his last season as a full-time starter, at the age of 22. He posted 23 wins in 1916 and 24 wins in 1917. He would win 27 more games as a part-time pitcher. Babe Ruth is 11th all time in winning percentage with a .671 winning percentage. 14th all time in hits allowed per nine innings with 7.17 hits allowed per nine innings. 13th all time in fewest homers allowed per nine innings with a 0.0737 mark. Then he went and hit 714 home runs as a position player
  10. I'm guessing this is the right place for "Project Nightmare" ...
  11. Speaking of Robert Heinlein... Podkayne in "If" is scarce as all get-out in nice shape...
  12. So many provacative covers Popkulture... Hey Moonpool... what's with snuggling up to the giant frog???
  13. Love the early Galaxy's... If you were raised on Heinlein you know there's no such thing as a free lunch
  14. Here's my "Universe" - it's not the prettiest but i've had it forever and it ain't going nowhere! What a classic!
  15. Some really nice abstract art covers there. I have quite a few of those that I really like, mostly sci-fi, but the fine art still moves me more in this context...
  16. I'll trade you my Tarzan B &W #5 in VF for your Poor Superman #1... You're getting the better condition on equal comics in the deal...
  17. I've been looking for 30 years and haven't found a sharper copy. A couple tiny issues but it's a fat book... It doesn't get much better than this if you love fantasy
  18. Soooooo... back to the cover art... Berkley was a pretty mainstream publisher.
  19. For some reason... I think of this as the "Hello Pal" of vintage paperbacks
