I never knew I needed paperbacks but....now I know.

I've had more fun collecting, exploring, discovering and acquiring vintage paperbacks and digests over the last several years than I've had collecting comics for the last couple decades.  A lot of great material and it's not crazy expensive, just really cool and generally, under appreciated.

I was lucky to get a lot of information from some of the big booksellers and a few board members like @Surfing Alien@Pat Calhoun and @OtherEric(thumbsu

Thus far, all of the Ace Burroughs paperbacks I've listed are the first printings in paperback by Ace.  They all begin with "F" and have a 40 cent cover price.  There are later reprints of these covers with "G" and also numerical identifications.  This is one of the reprints:

Ace 75131, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Savage Pellucidar (Reprint). Almost NF (unread). A nice copy with a small smudge on the back cover and unmarked pages. Frank Frazetta cover art. Free to the first person to purchase 5 or more books. Claimed by Tupenny Conan
