Some Friday Fun A very cool true crime Penguin with a beautiful Jonas cover. I haven't seen a ton of True Crime pbs, but I'm looking for them since I've been collecting the True Crime mags A classic Beacon Lesbian novel with excellent cover art by Frank Uppwall, reprinted from a Lesbian Uni Book Digest that I have somewhere but not at hand A couple of cool 'n groovy sleaze titles with nice uncredited cover art Finally, always finding new JD books for the shelf, I have a ton but there's still a ton I don't have. Lion Books (Library) LB116 (by this time, Lion was alternating the Lion Library Line name with the "Lion Books" imprint name which had earlier been discontinued) - hybrid Samson Pollen / Carlos de Mema cover art. This is a reprint of an earlier Lion Books edition

That is a crazy, and worthy endeavor!

Thanks for the extra takes fellas Thread is closed.

at 30% off. Smart man Love 1940's books with nice covers for $10

Some nice early True Crime mags. I really get a charge out of these 1930's ones, especially those two dark haired beauties with guns and knives and fire in their eyes Although the True Detective "Torture House" cover does have a certain charm of its own February 1930 Dalton Stevens cover art July 1936 Delos Palmer cover art August 1936 Delos Palmer cover art

Ok, I'm not finding anything else in these cheap boxes that's cool enough to offer you guys so I'm going to offer 30% off any remaining books until midnight tonight EST in case there's anything on the fence and then close this out and send invoices tomorrow.

Nice copy James It's a really good read about South Oakland JD's as well.

That's gonna do it for tonight, and likely for the thread as I've gone through everything in the couple boxes I pulled for this sale. I'll leave this up for tonight and tomorrow and see if I have anything else to add. As for now, thanks for the takes, likes, looks and comments
