Ace F-306 Earth's Last Citadel by C.L. Moore and Henry Kuttner. 1st Book Edition. Spectacular Alex Schomburg cover art. He only did a few for Ace.

Very Good Plus. Tough to grade this book in general. The black cover shows everything. Very light edgewear and some hairline creases and rubbing on back cover. Appears very lightly read. Pages toned as usual. A pretty copy.

$15

Bargain Lot of Ace Frazettas. F-205, F-247 and F-280.

Clean copies that have been read but not trashed. Call them Good plus readers, they still display well.

$18 for the lot and all 3 will ship for the same $4 as one book.

Ace 49291 The Lost Continent by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Cover and interiors by Frank Frazetta. I believe this is the 1969  second Ace edition per ISFDB.

Fine/VF A structurally stunning copy. Bright and glossy. Virtually no wear. Only interior toning keeps it from looking brand new. Amazing for a 54 year old book.

$15

Signet D2969 Batman vs. The Joker Book No. 3 in the 1966 Series   $60 SOLD to Tupenny Conan

Very scarce in glossy unread condition like this. I've been upgrading this series for several years now and 95% are trashed, another 5% VG-ish and a few here and there that look like this one.

I'll call this one Very Good plus. It appears Fine or better but has a crease down the back cover that doesn't break color. Still an amazing survivor.
