So-does this fit better here,or in the pulp thread?

 

Honestly, with the digests I figure it's pretty much a toss-up; they fit both places fairly well.

Found in the wild today.  First printing of the first Travis McGee novel:

I think it's one of the Shaver Mystery stories, actually.

Great cover on that book. Oddly and perhaps due to my focusing on Ace doubles, I had just seen this cover for the first time about 2 weeks ago.  On a related note Asimov's first novel of this series "Foundation" still holds up pretty high on the lists of classic sci-fi novels of the 50's.  See the link below to classic sci-fi of 1934 to 1963, compiled by hilobrow, with some iconic pulp magazines included.

I rescued this several years ago from a rubbish heap!

It was with a spipcase set of the collected Bizarre and the History of Girly Mags

His brother, Joseph, wasn't bad either.
