Batman The Best of the Original Batman      Signet D2939    First Printing March 1966       $15

First Batman paperback. Reprints the origin and other early classics.

Fine overall. Square and tight with great color. Minimal wear but has a crease that breaks color at top right, a finger bend on back and wear at the edges. Still a much better than usual copy.

Crime Hound by Mary Semple Scott    Early Mapback.     Dell #34    1944    $15

Another great Gerald Gregg cover with shotgun shells in a handprint. A thing of beauty. This cover also has the "giant eyeball keyhole" colophon, which was on some of the early Dells, this is one of the last of them. It's about twice the size of the smaller colophon.

Very Good Plus.  Great color. Solid binding has slight slant, pages tight and supple. Light readers creasing and a few minor creases. Nice copy of a tough book.

for 30% off if that deal is still good?

The Private Life Of Helen Of Troy by John Erskine   Popular Library 147     1948       $50

Classic Rudolph Belarski Nipple cover. A cornerstone book, one of the most famous and reprinted covers in the hobby.

Fine Plus. Square and tight, covers are smooth and uncreased, colors are bright. There's some fade to the spine, a few finger bends and light edgewear but overall a very nice looking copy of a classic.

That’s a little more than I want to pay for that one, but not that much…

Am I allowed to preemptively say “I’ll take it” if it lasts long enough to go to 30% off?

No worries, congrats on the win and I understand. There are things I want but don’t need so I don’t sweat it anymore like maybe I would have many years ago but appreciate the offer, you won fair and square. All good! Best of luck to everyone.
