 Any more marvel horror? conan, micronauts?

I know I have some more Marvel horror in my sale boxes, but they're more in the $7 to $10 range. Anything $5 or $6 I grabbed already. I definitely have some later Conan's (50-150, not BWS issues), but I'll have to look next time I go to my storage.

"Jerry, The Backwoods Boy" by Horatio Alger, 1904. 

Solid book, as nice of page quality as you'll find on these early pulp "thick books." Small tape upper and lower spine and cover. 

$12     SOLD!

New Magnet Library no. 742 - "A Vain Sacrifice" by Nicholas Carter, 1910. 

Browning interior and covers, old tape repair along spine and back cover. It would be difficult to read this without destroying it; its greatest utility lies in a cool old literary artifact propped up on your shelf on occasion, as it was mine...

$10

New Magnet Library no. 716 - "The Second Mr. Carstairs" by Nicholas Carter, 1911. A nice stark image on this early work of pulp fiction. 

Some moisture wear over the years, cover loose, could easily be re-glued to the spine (beyond my purview).

Free to the next person who buys any of the old "thick books" in this thread - just claim it!!     CLAIMED!         (see also bottom of Page 3)

Alger Series no. 138 - "Louis Chiswick's Mission" by Oliver Optic. A nice example of the popular bent of puritanical American juvenile literature. 

A nice example with minor wear and slight paper loss to spine.

$12
