Ziff-Davis, 1952. Ziff tried to get a piece of the 25 cent giant action with this big 100 pager, the last romance issue the company released before St. John took over the Ziff-Davis love franchise. Women in Love includes only two interior pages of advertising and contains a full dozen short stories, including the last two infamous offbeat tales.

 

At 8.0, this copy is tied for 2nd highest grade with one other, behind a 9.0. The other 8.0 sold in Nov, 2012 on Heritage for $657. This book is listed as "scarce" in the Guide, and for high grade romance collectors, believe me that is true. I had to wait 15 years to get this one.

 

Painted cover drawn and signed by Victor Olson (1924-2007), a celebrated artist, illustrator and graphic designer. He illustrated for many national magazines and created covers for paperback publications and magazine stories for such publishers as Doubleday, Avon Books, MacFadden Books, Bantam, and Monarch.

If only there were more true Renaissance (comic) Men such as yourself Michael, who can appreciate the beauty of all God's genres! Maybe it's your Euro-centric sophistication...

 

In all fairness though you'd have to know romance to know that this Ziff doesn't come around often.

It's a neat book. Had a copy once that I traded to 143ksk. Don't believe he still has it. Won as BIN for $20 on ebay
