It's a beauty

Take Me Home by Fletcher Flora Monarch Books No. 120 PBO 1959 $65 SOLD to TheComicsPreacher Sublime cover art by Harry Schaare graces this Lesbian classic. A very tough book in any condition. I'm probably crazy for selling it with what is happening with this genre. VF minus Square and glossy with the barest trace of a reader crease and a touch of wear at the upper right corner. "R" in pen on first page.

Infidelity by Arthur Weigal Novel Library No. 24 1949 $40 SOLD to Goldust40 This famous GGA cover art, likely by Peter Driben, was re-used on the comic book Intimate Confessions No. 7 VF minus. It's square, tight and glossy. Some dust shadows on the back cover about all there is to report. A beautiful Avon!

The boards giving me trouble with the pictures again

Thanks for the looks and takes, it's time for a bit longer break. Going to run a few errands at the store. I should be back around 6-ish EST. Should I get beer

Thanks - it's kinda beat on but still looks cool

Once Off Guard by J.H. Wallis Popular Library No. 385 1951 $35 SOLD to johnenock Basis for the 1944 film noir "Woman in the Window" - a scarce book in any edition and this is a very nice high grade copy with great uncredited cover art.

Burmese Days by George Orwell Popular Library No. 459 1952 $12 SOLD to Goldust40 Nice GGA cover art in the style of Barye Phillips but uncredited. Pretty racy back cover blurb, Orwell didn't shy from controversy. In nice shape with some spine stresses and an odd bindery flaw, one page was bound out of sync and sticks out a little (not loose, very tight in the binding)

I guess it's a George Mayers kind of day... Jasmine Street by Clifford Dowdey Popular Library Giant G119 1953 $15 SOD to Goldust40 Beautiful GGA cover from the great period at Popular when they put art on the front and back. Mayers signature on the back cover art At 480 pages, this is truly a Giant of a book. Very hard to find these fat volumes in such nice shape. Has a light crease on upper front and a bit of edgewear. Incredible whites on that phat spine (pictured)

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux Dell Books No. 24 1943 $30 A classic horror with ghostly Gerald Gregg cover art.

Avon Ghost Reader Avon No. 90 1946 $20 SOLD to Goldust40 That "Hand"! Early original Avon collection featuring Lovecraft's "Dunwich Horror" and other ghostly greats A super solid copy with great color and pages. Has creases on the cover but they barely break any color. Much better than usual for this one.

Little Caesar by W.R. Burnett Avon No. 66 1945 $35 Great cover art by pulp star, Paul Stahr. Re-used on the comic book Lucky Luciano and Murder, Inc. Square and tight without creases. Has staining to the bottom of the book, pages are browning and chipping at the edges. All that said, it's still a nice looking copy of a tough "Stone Cold Classic"

Goldie takes lots of nice books - but he lets other kids play in the sandbox too Does take some sifting tho
