I'm going to do something I've never done before in order to clear out books and give back to y'all. 40% off everything left until close at noon EST tomorrow (thumbsu

Red House on Green Street  by  Wanda Lane     Newsstand Library 514  PBO 1960    $20

Sweet Pulp Sleaze.  Robert Bonfils prostitute cover.  Nice copy.

Fine plus/VF minus     Bold colors, glossy cover. Light corner crease. Spine has slight slant but strong and tight. Pages are off white and supple. Someone read it carefully once because a bunch of pages had the corners folded back at one time but it appears lightly read.
