Forgot to scan the back but there's nothing but the crack at the spine on the back.

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

Amazing Stories, December 1948. VG- 3.5 (trimmed 3 sides). I purchased this from a fairly high profile seller as a 6.5 but with the damage to the back and the trimming, I think 3.5 is more accurate. One of my all time favorite covers of the run by Harold McCauley $20  Sold to Jack Linguini @ 20% off

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
