The Chinese Parrot by Earl Derr Biggers    Avon 344   1st PB  1951   $35  SOLD to mstrange

A stone cold classic as our pal PopKulture would say. Raymond Johnson GGA cover on Charlie Chan

Fine. Super glossy with fantastic colors. Spine has some slant and the cover has slight pullback at the right edge from glue shrinkage. Light creasing. Still quite a pretty thing.

The Case of the Crumpled Knave by Anthony Boucher      Popular Library 154   1948     $25   SOLD to mstrange

I'll call it Fine. Really a qualified VF.  Bottom of the front and spine is dulled compared to the upper section. Overall square, glossy and bright. Great spine, virtually no creases, slight wear. Pages lightly toning but supple and tight.
