David, that is a fantastic book and the group shot is magnificent. You should be VERY proud...

This copy has Slight (P) so it doesn’t top Sha’s beautiful Blue, but I love it just the same.

What a great looking book. PL 11 seems to be a tough book to find with nice PQ.

That Rick is such a tease, With a boxful of CGC’s, But he always aims to please, So... oh forget it, just get a move on buddy and show us the friggin’ goods!

A replica of the 1927 Amazing Stories Annual is available on Amazon for just $10. Original publication date was 7/15/27. The main story, Burroughs’ Master Mind of Mars, was purchased by Hugo Gernsback for one-third the normal rate from the author. The novel would appear in book form the following year, 1928. Gernsback was notoriously cheap in commissioning illustrations for any story, but here we get ten Frank Paul interior drawings to compliment the text. All-in-all, an appealing package!

Such beautiful books, as noted it’s a pleasure to see copies with such rich colors.

Gorgeous (and white pages, too)!

Amazing colors on that book, Bob.

The Fantasy Fan #10, June 1934. Finding original copies of this digest-sized fanzine is incredibly difficult, having a complete set is a truly remarkable accomplishment (I’ve managed only half a set, so far). I’d say individual issues are very rare in any type of mid-or-higher grade. This issue is notable for first publication of Lovecraft’s short From Beyond, a story that combines sci-fi and horror (the premise being that our five senses are inadequate to take note of everything that surrounds us). Not regarded as one of HPL’s best efforts, but I like it. The story was later reprinted in Weird Tales, 2/38.

More Fun 55 is a seriously fantastic book, love my copy, this one presents wonderfully for the grade (nice PQ too). GLWTS!

Thanks, I appreciate the perspective. While I suspected the literary content wasn’t first rate, the publication was a pathfinder, the Paul covers epitomize the genre, and the bedsheets are appealing. I admit that I find Amazing Stories quite compelling!

“The Walking Dead”

—Amazing Stories, February 1928... Baron Munchausen’s New Scientific Adventures (by Gernsback) begins (ends July 1928), novel was first published in Electrical Experimenter, 1915-16.

These are the first three issues of Amazing Stories Quarterly (1928), Paul covers, surprisingly inexpensive in Bookery. Many thanks to RicksNeatStuff once again, I can hardly be happier. Now if only a solid copy of the 1927 Amazing Stories Annual would come my way...

New mid-grade arrival today, what a cover - really nice pages on this copy too. Perusing the interior illustrations, they really get into it!

Tough book Robert, nicer than my former copy. I’d really like to get my hands on a solid copy of Keen 1 (oversized issue, I believe).

Agree, not Hanks (and I’m not familiar with the Fletcher signature).

And this is my 3 from Mr. B., perfect book for me.

Dug this one out, I’ve had it for a while, don’t think I’ve posted it before.

@Artboy99 I must say you have a very keen eye, all those books present very well for the grade - well done!

Picked up a few more Amazing Stories bedsheets from Rick’s sales thread yesterday, which inspired me to pull this out. When I was offered this book a couple of years ago, I wasn’t really a pulp collector and certainly had never paid such a high asking price for one. I contacted RedFury(Todd) for some advice, and he responded back to me quickly. After a few PM’s, his sage advice was - grab it! Thank You, Todd!

Quick on the trigger, trio of great pulps there Mark.

Interesting - I am the opposite, have a similar copy and love it.

Really like those early annuals, they’re not as ‘sexy’ as the regular issues but they really pack a big punch!
