Fahrenheit 451 by  Ray Bradbury    Ballantine Books  No. 41       True 1st Ed   1953     $175  SOLD to mstrange

True 1st Edition, published before the hardcover.   Iconic Joe Mugnaini cover art.  Notoriously they fall apart due to the cheap glue used.

Fine Plus Plus    Square, tight and bright. Appears very lightly read. Spine is tight with supple glue, covers are clean with great color and very minimal light creases. Great supple pages with only light toning. A superior copy with a great spine and no loose or uneven pages - rare to find completely intact like this.

You Asked for It (Casino Royale) by Ian Fleming   Popular Library 660    Only printing of this great rarity  April 1955    $275

The rarest and most valuable US Fleming PB (and Popular Library PB)   Fleming's first US paperback was Popular's last for him for their changing the title as well as changing James Bond to "Jimmy Bond"    Killer Raymond Johnson GGA cover.  Upgraded after many years so offering this for way below the usual ask on these.

VG/F. Solid and tight with great color. Slight lean. Spine and edgewear, less than usual surface wear and no major creases.

PLUGGED IN Jay Martin Berkley Medallion Z2246  1st Print 1972    $45

Rock n Roll circa 1972, dig the bell bottoms  :cloud9:  One of McGinnis' rarest (and grooviest!) covers. Love the Gibson SG! Tough in any condition.

Very Fine minus (Qualified VF?) Super sharp square and glossy, appears unread. Whites are a bit toned, more towards the spine. Very thin stain mark at spine edges, weird because there's no other moisture artifact. Structurally amazing.
