Well, against my better judgement I'm wide awake. GRRRR. 

Might as well list a few Early Birds for you. 

Alligator, I*n Fl*m*ng, A J*mes B*nd Thriller,  Harvard Lampoon, 1962. Second printing. 
Very similar size and format to the Dell Ten Cent series. 

Plenty of general wear, but still flat and tight, good gloss, clean interior. 
If you don't recognize who's getting parodied I'm not going to explain it to you, :D 

Asking $20

Go-Go Sadisto, Ember Library EL 313

I was going to stat this one as news stand fresh, and it's close, but the back cover scan showd up a light NCB dogear upper LH BC
that you have to study to spot in-hand. That led me to look it over even more closely, and thhere is a NCB scratch, very light but it's
there, diagonal on the FC. You have to hold it just right, in the right light to see it, won't show up on the scan. 
So, NOT news stand fresh, but it's durned close, lol
Flat, tight, square, clean, glossy, untouched interior, and the spine is sharp. Got it from another dealer years ago.
From my personal collection.

Asking $150

Paperbacks are great....and inexpensive. I spent more on my bagel sandwich and drink yesterday than I did on that book. There's something wrong with that no matter how you look at it.
