Flesh and Females by Harmon Bellamy     Quarter Books No. 66   1950      $25

Great title and Tony Varady Good Girl art on this Quarter Books digest.   Rare in any condition, "Quarters" are filled with great GGA artists and tough to collect at all.

VG. Square, tight and glossy. Has lots of superfluous wear but all there and the main image is great.

It was a small group but it must have been amazing for readers of Weird Tales from the late 20’s thru the mid 30’s reading Lovecraft and Howard’s new stories as they were released…
