WWII Era Stuff...

[Shrevvy]

If this goes too far afield from comics, I'm happy to take this thread down. You may have seen some of my other recent sales threads. We are moving from GA to OH. I have a small publishing biz and I'd rather move fewer boxes of books. So far, my sales threads have been successful and I thank all of my buyers. This thread will be a bit mixed. First up will be three more books I have published. These all deal with WWII, but are not comics. Although, two of them do have pictures and line drawings I've had more than a few conversations with board members about WWII. Plus, I sold a bunch of Canteen Kate and Golden Age Airboy on forum dedicated to WWII history. Gotta love the cross over appeal of books. Shipping is included on the first three books. Shipping will be added on the magazines and pulps. Payment by Paypal, check/MO. Returns in 7 days.

 

I have multiple copies of the books we've published:

 

 

Shots Fired in Anger HC - originally published in the late 1940s, it is an unvarnished account of the Battle of Guadalcanal. MSRP $28.99 - $10 shipped

 

Hatcher's Book of the Garand HC - originally published in the late 1940s. This is our best selling book and tells of the development and adoption of the M1 Garand, our main battle rifle of WWII. MSRP $24.99 - $15 shipped

 

Unlikely Warrior SC - Recently released. A WWII memoir. Robert Lovell is still with us and is a retired judge from OK. This is a very matter-of-fact written memoir, as if you were hearing it from your grandfather. MSRP $29.99 - $18 shipped

 

 

WWII dated Life Magazines. I have a bunch more if there is any interest. These are $5 each plus shipping. These have great period content and often have something related to comic books or pop culture. This one has an article on Chester Gould:

 

 

The same issue has a B&W pin-up ad by Petty. Advertisements were different back then...

 

 

Everyday Astrology This is the closest we get to comics. These are dated 1942-1946 and have great Schomburg covers as well as b&w Schomburg art throughout (mostly line drawings). I'll probably regret selling these, because where else can you find 1940s Schomburg covers for $15 each? (plus shipping)
