Worlds Of Weird Selected by Leo Margulies     Jove Books A4826     September 1978      $60

2nd appearance of Margaret Brundage's iconic "Batwoman" cover in wraps after the October 1933 original.  If CGC ever grades vintage pb's :takeit:

An important 1970's pb. Virgil Finlay interiors.

Very Fine. Tiny crack line in spine that must be factory as this copy is unread with only the lightest edgewear and surface wear.

The Puppet Masters by Robert Heinlein    Signet #980  First Printing       December 1952     $30  SOLD to Ghostzapper

Very nice copy of the 1st pb with the awesome Stanley Meltzoff cover art. Tough to find like this.

Very Fine Minus/Very Fine. A pretty astonishing copy of an early Signet Heinlein. Square, glossy and unread, only a couple spots of wear.

House Of Sorcery by Carter Brown  Signet D3218    First Edition First Printing.  August 1967    $30  SOLD to Ghostzapper

Smokin' cover.. literally imho. Wrapping this thread up with a couple of what I think are the finest. I'm a sucker for a sultry dame with a cigarette and light on the clothes :cloud9:

Very Fine. Super glossy. A couple of little things here and there. A killer copy of one of McGinnis' best Carter Brown covers. I can't get my phone to download the back cover pic but it's not dissapointing !

Ace D-39 FRANK GRUBER Quantrell's Raiders (1953; listed as an "ACE Original") and D-39b FRANK GRUBER Rebel Road (original title: Outlaw; 1953; listed as "Complete and Unabridged")        $40

Awesome Norman Saunders cover art on both sides of this classic early Ace Double. From the High Grade Collection.

Very Fine minus. Just some hairline creasing, light edgewear and a small paper split on the spine. Great colors and gloss like so many books from this collection.

Last Book for tonight.

 

The Cave Girl by Edgar Rice Burroughs    Ace 09283      Undated probably 1973 or 1974     $25  SOLD to mstrange

You need Savage Pellucidar 1st PB Edition, this "Tall" edition and "Luana" to have all three editions of this image but you do need them all to have the complete Luana set :canofworms::)

Very Fine/Very Fine Plus. A spectacular fresh glossy copy with virtually no wear. She's purty.

Pretty amazing spread of books, SA!  Every time I watch one of your threads, I see several new titles that I didn't know I wanted.  :headbang:

I swear @N e r V has the same internet connection that hedge funds use to get a micro-second advantage on stock trades.  That reaction speed is seriously impressive!  (thumbsu
