Passionate Princess by Jack Woodford  Novel Library No. 4 1948  $40

Great early Golden Age Good Girl goodness from the Avon folks and a scarce one in condition. The cigarette holder does it for me.

Fine plus. Square and bright. A few spine stresses, light edgewear. Store stamp on first page.

Another "Stone Cold Classic"

The Doll's Trunk Murder by Helen Reilly   Popular Library 211     1949       $85  SOLD to mstrange

Iconic violent Rudolph Belarski Bondage/Headlights cover. Has become rare to find in any shape for good reason.

I'm going to call it a qualified Fine Plus due to it being bound slightly askew. Bright and glossy with only a few very light creases. Small ding on the back cover. A few very light spots on cover. Still an unusually sharp cover with great color and corners.

The Blonde by Carter Brown  Signet S1972   3rd Print 1961    $15  SOLD to Comical Situations

Early Brown title when the mighty Barye Philips was painting covers. A sweet one here.

Fine Plus. Tight and glossy. Spine has slight slant. Covers smooth with only a little edgewear. Has a code on spine. I'm showing this one for reference but several have them so I will mention them but not take photos, they don't detract the cover art.

I should be listing some more Science Fiction tomorrow morning, before the vampires rise in the UK, so you'll have your chance :yeehaw:

It’s past 1am there now. If anything the morning would work better for him.

Dude is a super-hero. I've seen him "take" when it must have been 4 AM there, but even heroes have to sleep sometime no (shrug)

He’s either old and retired, young and parties all night or is a UK flipper taking care of business…lol

Either way he’s one of the older boardies here that I remember seeing posting. I like to see familiar faces here because so many have left here since the early 2000’s…:(
