"All The Way" by Mike Avallone. Midwood Books No. 60. PBO 1960. Gorgeous Rader cover art. Signed by Avallone She's got the kind of back that makes a man make sure he checks in at the house before he go out drinking...

Sins to Sin Pit The most well paced, twisted noir one-shot-wonder ever. And that cover art...

Great cover, close second to Leg Artist

House to Mansion

Maybe I need to get this slabbed

#2 & 7 both look like the same hand as 12. Harry Schaare signed #8. Leg Artist is Top of the Bill

The numbering is a bit of mystery that will probably never be solved. Here's a few more cool ones. #2 is the first fiction title... #7 is the last Red Circle before it changed to Lion Books... #8 is the first Lion and one of four Lions before they changed the imprint back to Red Circle for #12 & 13 ("Carnival of Love", above is the last Red Circle) With #14, Shirley Jackson's classic horror collection "The Lottery", Goodman changed it back to Lion for the rest of the run. I love my Avons, Pops and Pyramids, but if there's one manageable run I'd try to complete, it would be the Lions. All the great 1st editions of Thompson, Matheson, Bloch etc and great covers by the entirety of Goodmans Mens Adventure Mag artist stable

The Boni's are really pretty Art Deco productions. The early pb history books tried to highlight them but I think they were too conservative looking to catch on with folks who wanted bright colored covers. I had a few but not sure where they are now. I know I didn't sell them.

The giants are beautiful books and often are true 1sts that later appeared as Beacons. Sadly underappreciated. I think the split covers on the doubles are great but Ace probably did better with the dos a dos approach, giving full cover to each painting

I believe it was johnenock wanted garters, you giving him garters

I've read about 20 Whittingtons, never a bad one, a great plotter, he was blessed with a lot of excellent cover artists...

All of his books are shipped like that

A classic for my Carny collection. It's tough when you're in love with The Fish Girl. Brutal, beautiful stuff.
