Dell 744, Gilbert, Michael, Death Has Deep Roots, FN- 5.5. A very pretty copy with general wear and a slight spine lean. Nice and bright with full gloss. One of my favorite covers of the period. Read someplace that this cover is by E. Harper Johnson (new to me), but it's another “fridge magnet” for sure. $10  Sold to goldust40

Apologies.  Didn't mean to hit submit.  Got a little excited, I guess.

Croydon 14. Carter, Ralph. Shadows Of Lust, FN+ 6.5 (unread). A very pretty copy that would grade higher except for a light opening crease on the front cover. Otherwise, it's a stunning, bright, colorful copy. One of the few paperback covers by L.B. Cole. $25  Sold to Robotman
