Have a lot of work today but I'm going to try to drop a few here and there when I can and will post a whole bunch this evening. Here's one that must be in any vintage pb collection (or book collection at that!)

 

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley  Bantam Books  A1071  1951 Classic cover by Charles Binger     $60  SOLD to NerV

A very nice copy of one of the great dystopian classics, the first one I've ever been able to sell as I slightly upgraded mine.
Fine Plus - Square solid and glossy, no creasing, pages toning, slight stain to first couple pages.
