Did you see any "unicorns" at the show, you know, the stuff you never see? GOD BLESS ...

I saw the Amazing Detective Tales drug cover pulp. Just wasn’t nice enough to warrant $300. For me that day. Also saw a very nice copy of the Marijuana Dell 10 cent book for $250. Terry had some nice pulps but they were at, well, Terry prices…

It's a great drug book and great cover. When you look at the copyright page, it says "Second Printing" but it's actually the Second Printing of "Beyond Desire" with a new title and same cover art. That used to confuse the heck out of people who went looking for the First Printing of "Dream Club" and thought it was a unicorn (well, Beyond Desire is a bit of a unicorn )
I dunno but I was “hooked” when I saw it…

I thought KAYO was still in SF on Post street, even after the recent move?
I've gotten so many great books from them over the years it's ridiculous.
Well, technically Berkeley is in San Francisco. Haven’t been up there since Covid though.

In addition to the Raging Passions digest, I also picked this up at the Paperback show. Man, the colors just scream out at you. Guy had a whole table of unbagged ‘50’s-‘60’s comics. Grabbed a smile pile. I don’t think anything was over $10. Funny how many books you can grab at a few bucks each that you might not ever seek out or pay up for.

I love this show! Wish I could have been there! A few years back I got to meet Lupoff at the show and grabbed an autograph on my well read copy of AICFD. I would have snagged that Classic Comics peeking out of the comic pile if it was an interesting book. That copy of the East Village Other also looks intriguing. Those early counter culture newspapers are interesting reads and don't show up too often; they mostly got tossed in the bin.
I always find something intriguing at this show; I picked up a pile of Humbug magazines at the last one I attended.
Looks like great fun Bob!!
Yeah, one of my favorite shows of the year. You never know what turns up there. Missed you brother!
I also got Lupoff to sign my copy of that book a few years ago. Cool guy.
I bet you bought those Humbugs from my friend Kookie. He sets up right next to Kayo Books. He is a local flea market prowler and former comic store owner. He turns up real cool stuff.

Great minds think alike I picked up a minty copy of "Country Girl" from Kayo along with a great high grade Two-Fisted digest and the Gil Brewer classic PBO "Nude On Thin Ice" Tough books all around. I ended up buying a big enough stack from Kayo that they are shipping them to me Super nice folks with more of the higher end stuff I like than most sellers there.
Kayo is the best dealer at the show. I always hit them first. I always get a stack from them. If you like their show stock, you really should visit their store in Berkeley. Place is packed.

Awesome pick ups!! Dream club is a tougher book. It was originally printed with the title "Beyond Desire" which is even harder to find.
It was a “crime of opportunity”. I’d never seen it before. PBs and Digests are SO much cheaper than the comics I usually buy. And, although I don’t have the patience to look through endless rows of spines, Digests usually pop out easier when you can find them.

Nice picks - I saw those others but not "Raging Passions" or it would have been a duel
Hey, I got it with the rest of the others I posted all from the same booth. I may be old, but I still have a good enough eye to snap up a gem from you young wippersnappers!

I made it there. Was fun as always. Good crowd with money exchanging hands the whole time. I did a little recap on the show in the GA section in my “50 Year Junk Obsecession” thread.

So what was your assessment of the show? Sounds like you bought a lot. Good selection? Good prices? Any standouts? Worth a trip across country? Are you as “spine blind” as I am?…
