Sorry, I got pulled away for a bit...

 

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

HOT GGA cover art by Robert McGinnis in high grade. Sweet copy.

I can't get the back cover to show but you get the idea and totally returnable if it's ugly.

Dormitory Women  by R. V. Cassill   Lion Books No. 216   July 1954     $20

Another scarce Lion Books PBO.    A notorious title with a classic GGA cover that remains uncredited.

Very Good/Very Good plus. Looks better but has a split at the top back spine, not visible from the front. Spine is still tight and solid. Pages slightly uneven. Otherwise looks nice with no hard creases and wear is mostly around the edges.

[Surfing Alien]

Blaze by Scott Stone Berkley Books G227    1959      $35  SOLD to goldust40

Amazing Raymond Johnson Party Girls cover art. One of my favorite Johnson Tail-lights covers.  Berkley's are tough in general but super tough in this condition

Very Fine minus. Spine is tight and square, bold colors with tons of gloss. Razor sharp corners. Couple of color flecks off spine edge. Off white pages. A superior copy.
