Hi, all.  Welcome to the eighth installment of my Below Guide™ series!  This time around, I'll be offering a nice selection of extremely affordable 1950s Atlas War books.  Most will be priced below current Overstreet, and all are guaranteed to be unrestored.  Payment may be by PayPal, Cashier’s Check, USPS Money Order, or business/personal check (but please allow up to ten days for your check to clear).  Payment must be received within seven calendar days of being invoiced (unless other arrangements have been agreed to via PM).  All books will be shipped within three days of your payment (fully insured with delivery or signature confirmation).  The exact cost of shipping will be added to your order (for example, I can ship 1-4 books to a domestic address via boxed USPS First Class Mail for $5)Returns will be cheerfully accepted (provided that you alert me to the return via PM within one week of receipt), but the cost of shipping and return shipping will be on you.  International buyers are welcomed.  Miscreants, wankers, and folks currently on probation are not.

Post the :takeit: within the selling thread to claim your prize.  Happy hunting!

Sadly, I usually buy the unaffordable stuff.
