Jayman Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Easily my favorite of the bunch I picked up. Pure classic, and nearly impossible to find. I have never seen a copy in person before! Matthew I have to say I'm jealous! But in a good way, I've been looking for this book for a long time and have never seen one in person either. A true classic, congrats...uh, want to sell it?

shiverbones Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Thanks Jay! I have been keeping an eye out for this for over 10 years, and this is the 1st I came across. I plan on keeping it for the time being, but will let you know if I decide to pass it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicnoir Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 String of Pre Code books from c2e2. THe best thing about them, is the Dealers were really letting things go cheap. Almost all of these came from 1 booth where everything was half off on Sunday. Wall books, box stock, everything at the booth! Easily my favorite of the bunch I picked up. Pure classic, and nearly impossible to find. I have never seen a copy in person before! Nice copy. Mine has a piece out top right corner, otherwise not bad. Read the story. Overstreet calls it "classic story" which they never do. It's a hoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking example Matthew.....very nice. I have to ask this though......does going insane make you turn into Skrek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on keeping it for the time being, but will let you know if I decide to pass it on. I appreciate it Matt and was only half joking with the sell request. The reason I love this book as I'm sure is one of your reasons, is that this cover (for a romance book) tops a good number of PCH books out there! Please let us know how that cover story is!
