Maza Of The Moon, Ace F-321
First of the evening's Frazetta covers.

I haven't seen this one very often, and this is a pretty nice copy. Bumped lower RH corner, chip out lower LH corner FC, 
A spot of rubbing upper RH BC, and a bit of soiling BC are the worst of it. Flat and square, tight, glossy, clean inside. 
Thought that light spot RH edge FC was part of the art, but it's another little spot of rubbing.

Asking $10 SOLD!

All right Gang! Finished for the evening. 
Tomorrow is the last day of the thread, with invoices going out Sunday afternoon.
Tomorrow is All Smut, All Day, and I WILL be asking for an age statement before I ship.
Most of the Fifties stuff is practically wholesome by today's standards, but I have a few
later volumes that are more graphic, and  I'm not comfortable mailing without
dotting all the I's and crossing all the T's.

Here's a preview.

The last book of the thread will also be the only hardcover. 
A nice palate cleanser after all that smut, a wholesome Barbie book in dust jacket. 
No, I will NOT Think Pink about Barbie, :devil:
