Since you have 70's in your title, I've been buying a lot of DAW books lately, especially Tanith Lee and Michael Moorcock. I don't know if there are any other DAW collectors on the boards or not. Personally, I think I was a bit of a snob and never thought I would collect them myself but they seem to be creeping into my collection on a fairly regular basis now.

If you ask him for photos he will send them. He also seems to have many more books than he has listed on his site or on abebooks. I bought a copy of Jane Gaskell's The Serpent (Frazetta cover) from him a few months ago that was around near fine shape. It wasn't listed anywhere. I just asked if he had a copy. He sent me photos and his asking price was less than half what it normally sells for. Sometimes asking is getting.

One final bump. I'm always open to reasonable offers as well.

One of my favorite covers! Every time I see a copy, I think about buying it. I'm trying to avoid becoming a hoarder though.

Price lowered to $50.00 shipped CONUS.

Avons are awesome!! Ace are also one of my favorites. The Ace Doubles are what got me into collecting paperbacks, so they are a sentimental favorite.

Now 10% off original price of this award winning series. Asking $54.00 shipped CONUS for the group lot. Thanks for looking!

Here's the books!

My wife: "I hate this cover. It's the worst book you own." Me: "I never knew house centipedes could be used like that."

A couple classics, a neglected classic and two horror books.

I rarely buy on Ebay anymore but a couple weeks ago I bought a decent copy of The Dispossessed and they wrapped it in plastic wrap like a sandwich. The day it arrived, it was about 95 degrees here in KC. Thankfully it hadn't stuck to the cover. It also wasn't too much money, but still, saran wrap?

Nice pickups! I'm slowly trying to get all the Ace Science Fiction Specials and Ballantine Adult Fantasy books. Some of the best paperback covers ever IMHO.

Does anyone here follow Pulp Librarian on X/Twitter? I'm sure everyone here has already heard of this artist, but Pulp Librarian has a really cool thread about Walter Molino. I'd never seen his work before, but I think it's pretty amazing. I hope this links to the full thread: Walter Molino

Based on the cover you would think the book would just be one page in length with just the one word "Divorce". Maybe it would say - Divorce. The End. At least that's what it would be if my wife were writing it.

PM Sent! Thor/Marvel Spectacular lot on hold pending pm reply. Marvel Spectaculars are all SOLD. New price for Thor lot if anyone is interested.

One price drop and then I will put this thread out of it's misery. Thanks again to all who have looked!

That's it. Thank you for looking!
