These books need to be filed. Question is, Horror boxes or Crime boxes? Occurred to me, when was the last time I ever saw any of these for sale?

This question bothered me so much a few years ago I finally just put everything alphanumeric regardless of age or genre.  There are times I want to restructure, but it's been less bothersome to have them this way so I'm sticking with it.

Nice haul, and we're not finding ANY of these types of books, as you know, in any abundance these days.  I would suggest going by the story contents AFA putting them in horror or crime boxes.  I too run into that sometimes.  I have my Roly Poly 14 in with horror, just based on the cover illustration.  I think your Manhunt and Monster Crime however, might be more at home in a crime box.

Thanks for the input. Thinking of Monster crime and Roly Poly as horror and the Manhunt in crime with the rest of the run. I have been known to buy 2 copies and put one in each. That ship has sailed on these though. I got them a LONG time ago. Just never see any of them for sale any more.

Killer books!!!  Who cares where you put 'em - you got 'em!  Heck, keep them out and look at them!  ;)  

That Manhunt book does come up somewhat frequently.  I know of 2 up for grabs now and one sold last week, for good $.  I've been hunting for a reasonable copy for the LB Cole art forever but that sweet cover keeps it out of my range.  ENJOY!

Cool book! Love that film. That film and films like This Island Earth, were part of a Golden Age of Sci Fi films. Good score.

I have always thought the fellow at the bottom of the cover (with the witch leaning over his shoulder) looks like Harrison Ford in Blade Runner.
