I agree...blows the 6.5 and 6.0 out of the water in my humble , but biased , opinion

Gator, I'm troubled by the flood of scans that you have been posting over the past year or so. Please try to restrain yourself, as we are all feeling overly inundated by them.

 

Nice books btw. (thumbs u

I'm not going to recieve this until the day after Christmas but, with the deadline, I will submit this as my 3rd entry. (really should be 1st)

To be honest I have bought very few books "for me" this year. But these 2 are the creme of the crop for me

What the heck, I'll toss these in the ring -- Zoot 11, 14, and 16

I'll say - that's gotta be the perfect 3.5. A ton of eye appeal there.

[damonwad]

I know, I'll follow a great looking Action #3 with .............westerns!!!

 

All kidding aside, there have been so many great and rare books posted, it's going to be almost impossible to narrow it down to three.

Looking forward to going through the thread again though.

I was being facetious. It seems like you never post scans any more. Today's post was a rarity. I guess I should have
