Blends in well with the sand. That copy presents very well. pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A closer look shows Baker's hand clearly, but there's quite a bit that doesn't look that much like his work as well. Very happy to have it at all.

Popular Post comicnoir Posted April 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2019 I just saw a copy of this book sell here and I realized I'd never scanned my copy. One of the first Baker romances I ever picked up. Price? $10.00. pmpknface, Robot Man, Sqeggs and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 DS 16 is one of Baker’s best covers, IMHO (I recently upgraded to a 6.5). Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like maybe a briefcase and a spiral notebook in the foreground. Maybe they're on a lunch break from the office or, better yet!, playing hooky. They do some to be a trifle close to the edge of that cliff, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorick Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Does anyone here have a DS 16 with really RED inks on the cover? Mine has a few bends but I have not seen another copy with as deep color. bounty_coder, Point Five and The Black Hand ® 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The copy you just sold looks pretty darn good (color-wise). Red as deep as mine, but much darker blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The guy's coat is pretty blue on my copy, but the reds are orange. Don't know whether the reds were just more susceptible to fading or if it was a printing problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
