Love Adventures 7, 1951. Manvis Publications (Atlas)

 

Another basic G. Looks like the silverfish have been at an inch or so of the upper spine, and a quarter inch of the lower spine, along with a narrow section of the lower BC. Razafrazzin' bugs!

 

Balance of spine is taped. LOOKS nice at first glance, but that's before you see the 2 inch tear lower RH FC.

 

$5 for a reader copy.

So!

 

Rick is suffering from a wicked rippin' head/chest cold. I went to bed yesterday at around 5 PM and slept until 6:30 this morning. I have a doctor appointment this AM, then I should be back to loading, I'd like to get another 20 books loaded before day's end.

 

See you all along toward noonish.

[CrocHntr]

Winter colds are the worst! Hope you'll be feeling better soon. I'm enjoying the sales thread!

[catrick339]

Well, as you can see, I never made it back to the keyboard yesterday. I slept, coughed, and drank orange juice from the time I got up until I went back to bed.

 

On the plus side, I think I'm on the mend,. I'd better be4, I have to head back to work this morning.

 

Back this evening with more raggedy romance.

[catrick339]

Love Romances 6, 1949. Timely Comics. Yes, TIMELY. I always enjoy finding one of the late 1940's books with the Marvel bullet on the front cover.

 

Lots of general wear, a couple extra staples, and the centerfold is STILL loose,

 

$20 takes it home.

 

[catrick339]
