Yes, I have a handful of pulps and a few digests (non sci-fi) that I'll be listing with the next tranche.  I'm getting listings together now and will list more books tonight.  Not sure when yet but I'll post a heads up here 30 minutes or so before.

Thanks for the interest! 

[Randall Dowling]

Okay, looks like 8:00 CST is when I'll start listing again (30 minutes from now).

Just a quick note about digests.

Many of these titles are scarce in any condition.  They're incredibly hard to find current pricing on because certain books almost never come up for sale.  Even really low grade copies are fairly sought after, depending on the title.  But mainly, Phantoms, Falcons, Rainbows, Exotics, Ecstasys, and such are pretty tough.  I've been collecting them for several years now and there are still many titles that I've never seen for sale.

Off Beat Detective Stories. September 1960. FN 6.0. Pretty copy with just a little bit of edge and corner wear. Otherwise a very bright and clean copy. $75 Sold to Jack Linguini @ 20% off

Exotic Novel. Gordon, Luther. Pay For My Kiss. FN+ 5.5. A stunning copy of this very tough digest. Would grade higher but for a minor amount of rust on staples (very common for these digests). Classic cover art by Fred Rodewald. $75

[Randall Dowling]

Falcon 35. Wade, David. Raise the Devil!. FR/G 1.5. It's beat but complete, as they say, pretty much everything to see in the scans. Ridiculously scarce title with a classic cover by Howell Dodd. $50

I presume you mean one of the new digests, not the ones from earlier in the sale?  If you are counting earlier ones, take.

Falcon 42. Walton, Bryce. The Long Night. VG- 3.5. Great colors and gloss, it's all there but some creasing, a minor spine roll and a 1” spine split at the base are the major issues. Still, this is an incredibly tough book in any condition. Classic cover by Howell Dodd. $55

It's yours, Eric.

Avon Modern Short Story Monthly 50. O'hara, John. All the Girls He Wanted. VG/FN 5.0. Nice solid copy with bright colors and gloss. Minor wear associated with the given grade. This book is really weird. I can't find any comps or other copies for sale or recently sold. It's a digest from 1949 so I assume it predates the paperback version. It's also one of the last issues in the Modern Short Story Monthly series. $70

[Randall Dowling]

Fantastic August 1955, Vol. 4 No. 4. VG/FN 5.0. Nice clean copy with wear associated with the grade. No major issues, just some minor creasing. Cool cover. $20  Sold to OtherEric

United States Army. Pocket Guide to China. 1942. FN 6.0. General wear for the grade but all solid and attached. There's also a 1943 and 1944 reprint out there (which is marked 1943 or 1944 on the last page, this copy says 1942). Interior illustrations throughout by Milt Caniff that are incredibly racist and inappropriate by today's standards. Stuff like “How to spot a Jap”, etc. $60  Sold to TheComicsPreacher
