Hiroshima by John Hersey Bantam    404   1948      $30

Classic that everyone in my generation read in high school. Geoffrey Biggs cover depicting the horrors of Atomic Warfare. 

Fine Plus/VF minus. Square, glossy and tight with a few bends.  Lamination is all there with only slight lifting. Nice pages.

This thread is hard. I feel like I am in a candy store and every time I pick up a sweet delectable, someone with angry red pants, a fabled artist or that one that just gets on your nervs slaps it out of my hand. I want the sweet Macro-Reese's Cup and I keep getting the sugar free gum.

 

 

Beautiful and INTERESTING books!!

I have barely managed to dodge this thread so far (barley), but like Sir Dover, have been envisioning a “pull the trigger moment” that would subsequently and instantly turn into a watershed event and result in something like this …

Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta Book One and Two (later printings), all in all, nice shape.  Not perfect but they look essentially new and unread.  These are the books that I first really got a look at Frazetta's incredible paintings as a kid.  High quality reproductions throughout.  $60 for the pair.

I would like to claim these in thread please. 

Seriously though - really, realllly nice books. 

Wowza…

Number of Pirates: 1

 

 

 

 

Truth: I only bought them to get a rise out of you. Roma Victrix.

Just tell me which ones already for the love of cripes!  Pretty sure I know, but you can confess to this preacher. I'll send to you for same price I bought them.
