Smart take - just a haunting cover and a significantly better copy than the one I let go previously.

Ace S-95 The Naked Jungle by Harry Whittington      $35  SOLD to goldust40

A scarce Ace single by top PB writer Whittington with gorgeous uncredited GGA cover art. Looks like James Meese to me and a few of my friends who study this stuff but remains uncredited.

Fine.  Glossy Solid spine, has slight slant and wear to the spine edges. Pages tight in binding, slightly tanning but supple. Name in pencil on first page. No front cover creasing and light crease on rear cover. Overall an attractive copy of a tough Whittington classic vintage paperback

Commit the Sins by William A. Austin       Newsstand Library U165    $40  SOLD to goldust40

Jazz/JD/Lesbian sleaze with incredible Robert Bonfils headlights cover art with a great composition. Bonfils collectors are everywhere and it's a condition rarity as well.

I don't collect a lot of sleaze except if it has elements of:  JD, Jazz, Blues, Lesbians, famous authors under pseudonym or striking cover art/artists. I guess I do collect a fair amount of sleaze

Very Fine - Spectacular copy. Super glossy and new looking - virtually no wear. Pages are off white and supple. For the picky collector who wants the very best.

A Cat For Bill by Frank Ferry   Imperial #741                            $40  SOLD to mstrange

An incredible vintage sleaze pb. The uncredited cover art is one of the coolest paintings I've seen on one of these. The girl, the coloring, just top notch vintage sleaze pb art.

Very Fine.  Unread gorgeous glossy copy. Pages are creamy and supple. Virtually no wear to be found. Distributor spray on top page edge. This is likely the finest copy on the planet, I couldn't imagine a better one.

One of the best Ron Turner British Sci Fi Digest covers featuring an Atomic Bomb explosion over New York.

Angel by Carter Brown Signet D3413  Third print. Undated. Late 1960's    $25  SOLD to goldust40
