Monarch Books 174, John Conway, Love in Suburbia, 1960. VG. General wear on the covers on a nice bright book. All kinds of wild stuff happening in the suburbs apparently. One of my favorite covers by Ray Johnson. $15  Sold to davet75

Monarch Books 364, Gil Brewer, Wild to Possess, 1960. Near Fine (unread). Nice and bright with the stamp over the price (very common on this title). This was an early favorite of mine and the first book I saw with Robert Maguire's art.  I was instantly hooked- the composition, the colors, the refinement of line.  Only later would I find out what a sought after author Gil Brewer!  Doesn't get a lot better than this.  This book is soooo undervalued.  $35  Sold to Tupenny Conan
