Pocket Book 824, L. L. Foreman, The Road to San Jacinto, 1951. VG/F. A bright copy with excellent colors but some creasing on the back cover and a slight spine lean- still a pretty book. Those guys in the white sheets are going to be trouble! $8

Eerie 65, 8.5. I would grade this around 9.2-9.4 except for a 1/4” bindery tear at the top of the book. Some would call this production but I think 8.5 makes more sense. Otherwise, this book is very glossy and bright with a tough black cover. $45

Dracula (UK), New English Library, Vol. 1, No. 5, 9.4+. This is one of the best covers of the run (by the Spanish master, Enrich) and very tough in very high grade. This book is exceptionally clean and bright with nice sharp corners.  Unfortunately, my scanner isn't big enough to get the edges but it's plenty sharp. $120  Sold to Tupenny Conan
