 Frankenstein by Mary Shelley  Lion Books No. 146  1953   1st Mass Market PB   edition   $65  SOLD to goldust40

Rare in any condition, this one has super nice covers, my former keeper. Great cover art, I think it's by Lou Marchetti.

Fine plus. Square and glossy with a few light bends. Page block is slightly uneven but tight. Private library rubber stamp on title page and bottom page edge. That all said this is a sweet copy, the best I've had for sale.
