A nice stack in from @Surfing Alien's latest sale today, plus a couple from other sources.  We'll start with the Ace Doubles.  I'm not generally going to bother with the F-series Doubles, other than the SF, but I couldn't resist the F-102 where the look of the doubles hadn't actually switched over from the D-series style.  More importantly, any day where I get a single digit D series book is a great day.  The D-223 is a nice upgrade:

And a few assorted items to round out the lot.  The John D. MacDonald is the 1st publication of the story, and one I haven't read yet.  The Dell and the Pocket were both generous bonuses, I do love the pockets with the sequential numbers at the top.  And can any of us here resist mapbacks?

I'll probably post this elsewhere as well but I know there's some Atlas logo lovers over here.

Amazing Detective Cases, April 1944. I don't usually get too excited about photo covers but it's nicely colorized and this is the only issue of the series with an Atlas logo. It's a pretty early usage :cloud9:

Ever have a day, when you wake up and decide to go to your favorite bookstore Kayo Books and find…  many beautiful drawings by Frazetta.  There is tape on the spine, so Maria Mendoza gave a nice discount.  I am all smiles right now.IMG_3505.thumb.jpeg.fa9d48e4e3cdb04bba839d217dc201ad.jpegIMG_3504.thumb.jpeg.3c2749b7d80e56389018ca4936b4532f.jpeg

But, let's cut ahead to the big reveal:  The group shot (such as it is) of the D-Series Ace Science Fiction books.  There's definitely a few I would still like to upgrade, but overall I'm quite happy with the set for now.

I've been collecting for a loooooong time but I don't think I've seen any jd piece atop this OA. A demo piece sold for records in the past, but this is the actual used cover... 

 

Masterpiece of stoner girl mood by Rudy Nappi 

 

Anyone want to lend me 20k :)
