Dangerous Trade, Intimate Novels 10
Y'know, I've never seen a garter belt outside of a strip club, lol 

Small split and chip out upper spine, some general wear, but tight, glossy, clean interior 
Looking at the BC, I'd say that this was the bottom copy of the wired bundle that landed at the news stand, those four
indentations match very well. Small smudge lower edge of book. 

Asking $15

My favorite Lowboy glass.

Bought it at a church rummage sale for a dime, and the Church Ladies laughed and laughed when I told them I was going to drink scotch out of it.

Dark Power, Black Cat Detective Series 14

Probably the prettiest book of the evening. Slight, light crease lower FC, very light crease parallel to spine BC,
whiff of general wear. Interior is untouched except for a small horizontal piece out of the upper edge of Page 3.
Could be production, could be mayhem. Otherwise flat, tight, square, glossy, bright colors. 

I want $15 for this little gem.  SOLD!

This one may be as nice as the last one. There is a NCB straight crease along the spine, and a touch of soiling on the back cover.

Yours for 15

(Glances around, checks for PM's) 
Tough crowd tonight, lollol 

Last book for the evening. This is the oddball I was talking about. 

The Radio Men, Fantasy Publishing 1948, stated first edition. 
This consists of a VERY plain trade PB, see the pix, plus a bright garish green dust jacket. 
Never run across the like of it before, never seen another copy. 

Jacket has chip out upper LH FC and upper edge spine, otherwise quite clean except for an odd little dangler
miscut lower edge on the inner fold of the jacket FC. Should be visible in the scan. Book itself is news stand fresh
except for a pencil price page 1, and a very odd rubber stamp on the back cover, 
"Read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand", see the photos. Except for chips and the teensy dangler, the dust jacket is sharp.
Interior is untouched except for the stamp and the pencil price. 

Autographed by Robert Weinberg inside the FC, I'm assuming this was the well known bookseller.

Whaddya think? Is this an odd enough oddball for the crowd? :D 

Asking $35, FIRM
