The Lurking Fear by H.P. Lovecraft    Avon Books 136    1947    $100

Another "Stone Cold Classic"  First PB of this story/collection. Cover art by A. R. Tilburne swiped from Virgil Finlay's cover for Weird Tales, 1939

Fine plus. Square, tight and solid. Killer color strike, there are a few very light creases that don't break color, light edgewear. Pages are off white and supple, inner covers white. A really beautiful copy, especially if you know how tough this book is without hard creases. I may regret selling

Take

At The Earth's Core by Edgar Rice Burroughs  Ace  03323  Undated, probably 1973     $20

Another killer Frazetta Good Girl

Another stunning NM copy, like a 9.4/9.6 with perfect spine and fresh clean pages. This one has tiny touches of wear at the top tips, that's it.

I was driving. I’ve missed copies of that book for years now. I’m getting used to the disappointment…

You deserve a Distinguished Service Cross or something if you pulled off that quick a "Take" driving. Or a ticket
