  1. A few recent Atlas pick-ups: Love this stylized cover art (Burgos?): These early Atlas books are sweet: And a beat-but-complete Apache Kid
  2. I've picked up quite a few westerns here and there in the last month, so it was funny that a thread asking if there is a market for westerns was started essentially as I was finding them in unlikely places:
  3. I vote to keep the slabs away from pulps and paperbacks. I think the slab detracts from the whole experience. If you start slabbing everything, you'll miss little treasures like this songsheet included in an 1865 issue of Demorest's:
  4. I'm admittedly a small fry, so my dollars will never be put to the test on the really big books, but I do wonder if you're not correct about all this, and, as you say: never say never. If you can shift the nicks on the spine around to the back cover by disassembling and pressing the whole book, then why in principal can you not trim off the resulting 1/32 of an inch or so of page reveal upon reassembly to have a square edge again? I mean, it's all about how it presents in the slab after all and that all important number at the top...
  5. Awesome books!! Number 6 is definitely one of my favorite 50's covers - the utter menace, those colors - great stuff.
  6. Easily! By the way, how is no. 6 not one of your faves??
  7. I used them a couple times, but much later than that. Trouble is, they omit some of the minor plot threads. I was the only kid in my english class that did oral book reports - I figure, why not, when a comma fault or three spelling mistakes gets you an "F." A few times I was asked by the teacher about some nuance that was lacking in the Classics and I was thankfully able to initiate a bit of a group discussion with a few of the brainiacs that also read the book in order to cover myself. Good times.
  8. Wow, Lois took great care of her books!! These are wonderful pieces of Americana. I like them raw like this.
  9. Boy, not a set you could put together today for those on any kind of a budget.
  10. I felt a little weird clicking the heart icon for Hitler, so you got the trophy instead. p.s. I can't believe you have ALL those books in 8.0 or better. That's beast.
  11. It's curious as to why CGC doesn't note these as Saunders covers. They're wonderful!
