And, just before it becomes tomorrow where I'm, the last of today's books with the Aces:

Norman Saunders of course! and the flip side is Allen Anderson, who didn't do a whole lot of paperback covers to my knowledge

[OtherEric]

Another comic cover by McGinnis that arrived today, with the standard version from the GCD for comparison.  I know I've said it repeatedly, but I love that he's still doing covers.  I need to track down the couple I'm missing.

[Surfing Alien]

Picked up another small stack of Harlequins. Everything about them, from the tiny Harlequin colophon to the edgily different cover art from US Editions, is cool  False Face is

Had a not-bad day at the Detroit Book Fair today.

Big ol' stack of vintage comics, Shazam From The 40's To The 70's hardcover at a bargain price, handful of pulps, and a nice stack of pb's. Believe it or not, the What's New Pussycat? is a *FRAZETTA* cover. First one I've run across.

Pretty things Rick!

I think he did a couple of humor covers

Now, I'm no expert, but it seems to me if she's "young, stacked and luscious" she ought to be the best tramp in town.

I'll be durned. Lightning strikes twice.

Stopped in at a little antiques/tchatchkes store, saw the Going Out Of Business sign.

Dollar a bag sale on books.

[catrick339]

It begs the question, What Did I Miss?

along with why they had smut intermixed,

Can't go wrong at that price.  Nine Princes in Amber and Rogue Queen are the prizes to my eyes

What’s special about the Rogue Queen?  I think I’ve got a copy of that edition somewhere.

Considered a classic cover from back in the Hancer price guide days - a mainstream Dell Sci Fi book sexsationalized with a sexy purple alien Good Girl and misleading blurb

[catrick339]

Nine Princes is first print, sharp copy. 

Rogue Queen is...okay.

To my mind the gem is Blackmark. I just sold my personal copy, damned if this one isn't even nicer.

(Thinks about shelving it up, sighs, leaves it in the box) 

[Surfing Alien]

Sold a lot of books so it was nice to get some in today.

Can't get enough of the "Girls"

As I've mentioned, I don't collect sleaze per se, but it's JD or Lesbianism, or has "Girl" in the title, I'm in. Two of these have both!

[Surfing Alien]

This may or may not be an upgrade, I'm trying to decide but I can always keep both, it's not a bad book to have two of

 

 

[OtherEric]

Only one addition today. I've actually got two of the original four parts in Argosy, as well:

In my quest for bigger and better sleaze….

Note the covered cleavage and gloves on retouched cover on the left. Luckily, found the book on the left at my go to place Kayo Books in San Francisco’s Tenderloin.  

Kayo Books is moving down the street, only about one block on the other side of the street.
