A real nice copy of this Ray Johnson hillbilly GGA title. Beautiful colors and the back cover art is top notch as well

I have a large Sci-Fi collection I am sorting through to sell later in this sale, but will probably be Monday I start on those. But maybe I'll throw one up tonight

Pagan Passions by Randall Garrett and Larry M. Harris  Beacon No 263    1959   $40  SOLD to mstrange

Classic Robert Stanley GGA cover art.  Love the crumbling empire in view out the window...

Near perfect copy of this Science Fiction, sold as Sex by Beacon. An incredible unread copy with full gloss and only a few very light bends keeping it from NM.

Figured you might like that A real Killer copy

I am going to have to take the break here. Tomorrow I'll post some better books as well. The closet door isn't close to closing yet

 

[Surfing Alien]

There's a LOT of great books still un-took.

I'll try to clean the thread up tomorrow morning - feel free to take looks, send offers and likes and any questions will be answered

Cropper's Cabin by Jim Thompson    Lion Books No. 108  November 1952    $35  SOLD to Darwination

A truly sick and twisted Thompson tale.  Offering up my reader copy at a bargain price. One of those super-tough Jim Thompson Lion Books originals that goes for hundreds of bux in high grade.

Spine slanted, pages loosening but all there, including the covers. So great to read these in their original format
