 Jailbait by William Bernard  Popular Library #1392  2nd Printing  1952    $12 SOLD to goldust40

Stone Cold Classic Belarski JD cover art and one of the most famous pb covers ever for sure.

Bargain on this tough to grade copy. Pages are misbound - they are still glued in the binding but in sections, very uneven. Covers in pretty nice shape though.
