Note: The cover is much darker. This was shot outside to magnify any defects.

SOLD!

Jayne Mansfield's Wild Wild World self biography 1963 Holoway House HH-110

Has a long photo section with many nude photos!

Sadly, this book has seen some water damage. Not real bad but very evident. No musty smell. A nice copy otherwise. Too bad, because this book goes for pretty good money if not.

Was $25.

Now $15.

The Neon Wilderness by Nelson Algren 1949 Avon #222

An Avon classic streetwalker cover. Used later as the cover for Intimate Confessions #1 comic book. One of the best Avons.

This copy is missing one interior page. (yep, I count them). First page neatly detached but clean with no tears or creases. A little wear at top and spine rubbing.Right side looks trimmed but I suspect it isn’t because the book has a slight spine roll. A very decent filler copy with no damage to the classic cover! Happy to keep it if it doesn't sell.

Was $50.

Now $45.
