Welcome to Surfing Alien's $25 (or 6 to 4) cheap paperbacks sale. Everything <$25 (See I even used the proper "less than" sign. You can teach an old dawg new tricks ) Giving my age away, yes I grew up humming Terry Kath's incredible guitar solo to Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" in my head. I hope it's stuck in yours now As in my November Black Parade of the Broken, Beaten and the Damned sale, this is going to be a hodge podge of lower priced books that are either: 1. Classic books that are broken, beaten or otherwise damned and 2. Books that are in nice shape but just not top tier, expensive (in relative, paperbacking terms) books 3. Books that fall in between those categories for some reason or other. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on descriptions and pics but promise lots of cool stuff anyway. I'm upping the limit to $25 from $20 so I can include some mo' better books so let the fun begin... I've been buying selling and trading Vintage pb's since the Hancer Price Guide came out back in the 80's. Been on Ebay since 1998 with 100% positive feedback. I tend to grade paperbacks in the manner of current pulp grading: Poor/Fair/Good/Very Good/Fine/Very Fine I'm a high grade collector so my books are almost all Very Good and better if they're available in those grades. Many pre-1960 books just aren't available in high grade often so I try to find solid Good-Very Good ones if I can. The rules for this thread are: -No HoS or Probation list buyers -I will ship to Canada but will have to quote shipping options. -Payment via Venmo or Paypal preferred. I also can do Zelle although it is a bit more of a pain to do. -Shipping via USPS Media Mail for $4 or Priority Small Box for $11 for the continental United States. More than one book I will ship at the least extra cost practicable. Shipping for Canada will be quoted. -First in the thread wins and prevails over pm offers -Returns accepted for 14 days after delivery but please let me know asap if you are unhappy for any reason and I will make it right. I do miss things occasionally. Feel free to pm with offer or questions. I'm always open to reasonable package offers.

I know that it will never have Pedigree status but this is Frank Brunner's copy of Brundage's 1st WT cover. I have several others of his pulps. Mostly upper mid-grade like this, but priceless. His Bran Mak Morn portfolio should have been Weird Tales illos

First, paperbacks with dust-jackets, now paperbacks that are hardcovers! What will they think of next Seriously, those little Perma hardcovers are pretty cool. Most of the first 101 of the Perma "P" series are hardcovers and mostly non-fiction, but those went away and Doubleday eventually sold the line to Pocket, who changed it to the more successful "M" series which had some very collectible pb's, including the 3 James Bond titles and the Ed McBain (Evan Hunter) books.

That's a cool piece. I believe the congressional hearing transcripts are on Google books or somewhere, I remember reading the transcripts when I was researching Raymond Johnson and it was pretty funny reading the interplay between the publishers, who were like nothing to see here, move along.... and the hard liners who were positive that every kid who read "The Amboy Dukes" was going to drop out of school, smoke reefers and murder somebody

The 1st pb edition in English is the Armed Services Edition (although the original 1895 Heineman edition was released in boards and wraps, I don't consider that a mass market type paperback) in 1945. Penguin released a paperback edition in 1946 but it is the usual boring Penguin all-type cover (that I have never collected, although there are plenty of enthusiasts, I was never one, I MUST have a pictorial cover, even if it's a picture of the hardcover ) The Pan 1953 edition was the first commercially available mass market pb edition with a pictorial cover. I only have the 1954 second print of that one

Pulps Between Boards: Arkham House and Other Specialty Publishers
Surfing Alien replied to RedFury's topic in Pulp Magazines
Another humble pickup. Genius Loci is like an old friend to me as I believe it was the first Arkham House book I bought back in the '80's when I first started collecting so it's nice to have one again. The Wakefield dj image always creeped me out -
Are those all digest sized?

I love that you did this in your Little Carousel of Comics

I think you mean, a great image, but not a great scan because that is a great looking image to me
