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.

Killer copy

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

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.

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.
