Thanks. Big brother is certainly watching us

Our daughter is coming home from college for the weekend today so I'm going to be off and on today but I'll try to get some nice things posted this morning and when I have some time later

The Organization Mad   Signet S1795     $35

1st edition 1st Print  from April 1960  the earliest one I have to offer at this time. Killer shape for a 63 year old pb. Looks like it did on the rack.

Very Fine. Probably un-improvable copy. Unread, glossy copy with smooth covers. No reading wear at all, even on spine back. Great colors & page quality. Slight ding on upper left corner back cover. Tiny Paper scrape lower back corner.

[Surfing Alien]

Three Ring Mad   Signet S2439  1st edition 1st Print March 1964   $30

Great Alfred E. Neuman circus poster cover, signed Norman Mingo

Fine Plus/Very Fine minus. Probably read very lightly once as it has a small name at top of front page. Nice glossy copy with only a couple tiny finger bends. Great colors & page quality. Light edge and surface wear. Tiny discoloration to page edge staining. Light dust soiling. Despite these little flaws, a real nice looking copy.

 

[Surfing Alien]

The Violent World of Michael Shayne by Brett Halliday   Dell 9334  First Dell Printing November 1965   $22  SOLD to goldust40

A sublimely elegant GGA cover by Robert McGinnis. You always hear me complain about font-filled  covers but they're actually done pretty nicely here.

Very Fine. Unread glossy copy with deep colors. Spine is square and tight. Virtually no creasing or edgewear. Light aging/storage evidenced.  A beautiful example of book making.

The Private Practice of Michael Shayne by Brett Halliday   Dell 7142 New Dell Edition (Previous was #23 back in 1943)  First Dell Printing  July 1965   $18  SOLD to goldust40

Another gorgeous GGA cover by Robert McGinnis

Very Fine Minus. Glossy copy with deep colors. Appears unread but has a small name on inside front cover. Spine is square and tight. Tiny corner ding upper left and finger bend lower right. A pretty copy. The Brett Halliday books were usually well read.

Gorgeous books. Sold!

[Surfing Alien]

The Icepick in Ollie Birk by Eunice Sudak  Lancer Books 73-467  1st Printing 1966   $25  SOLD to jimjum12

If you like 'em crazy, she's for you. I love Leona and everything about this insane GGA cover except for the fact that I can't find a credit or figure out who painted it. Looks a lot like Fred Fixler's paint technique to me.

Fine Plus. Glossy and tight. Has a bit of spine slant. Very light reader crease but no unsightly corner creasing at all. Light dust soiling. Great overall considering it's a Lancer Book.

Very weird

Reminds me of this cover for some reason…

 

[Surfing Alien]

G.I. Girls by John Jakes  Monarch Books 339    April 1963   $30 SOLD per PM to mstrange

Classic Marilyn Monroe swipe Headlights/GGA cover by Raymond Johnson from the great GGA period at Monarch Books

Tough to grade. Appears unread but has obviously production related tiny chipping around the edges from the cutting machine, like Marvel chipping. Deep colors and gloss. A striking copy.

My last one for this morning as I have some things to take care of but I'll try to sneak some more in this afternoon.

 

Hostage For A Hood by Lionel White  Gold Medal 687 PBO 1st Printing July 1957     $40   SOLD to goldust40

Searing Bondage/Headlights cover by James Meese. Probably his most reprinted and sought after cover on top of the fact that White PBO's are highly collected.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm always buying/upgrading Lionel White novels since they are such great page turners as well as featuring GGA by some of the best artists in the genre.

Fine. Solid and square. Has some spine wear and edgewear, a small tear on upper rear cover being the worst of it. I've only ever seen one or two high grade copies of this book at crazy prices. A very well presenting copy for the price that can still be read

I'm going to do a quick lightning round here in imitation of my pal catrick339 This next bunch of Frazetta's will all be $10 books. I'm just going to show the fronts in order to save time and get whole bunch of nice books in front of you. They're not going to be the near perfect VF beauties I've been asking $20-30 for, but will all be nice mid grade to upper mid grade copies. I'll mention anything I think worth mentioning that you can't see. Let's see how this round works
