Heh heh, how many times did you look at that one, Jimbo?

Yesterday or today? I can only afford the 2 that I chose this month, but the short list was a bit longer. Judy is a huge CS Lewis fan, so she'll be OK with beans and rice for a couple weeks, healthy anyhow.  GOD BLESS ...

Now if I can talk Red Fury into letting me store some of this overflow in HIS library....

Untamed Darling by Jack Woodford   Avon No. 403   1952      $75  SOLD to Microbia

A staggering NM/M copy of this classic Peter Driben cover of Eve offering the apple.

I don't grade anything NM/M but here it is. Near perfect everything, including the ultra-glossy lamination. Small pencil arrival date code on top of first page. WHITE inside covers and off-white pages.  Just an incredible copy that can't be beat.

Great take. Its reflections will light up your house like a Christmas Tree in the right lighting

Okay, I think this is a good spot to take a break. Got a lot more listed tonight than yesterday. I really appreciate all the likes, takes and great banter .  My wife says she still can't close that damn closet door so I guess I'll have to keep listing tomorrow evening

Nude On Thin Ice by Gil Brewer         Avon T-470  Paperback original, first print   1960    $70  FIRM

Great bargain copy. Brewer was one of the best noir writers and this is considered one of his best PBO's.

Combined with an ultra-classic cover, it's no wonder this one is usually listed in 3 figures.

Pretty, glossy copy. Slight spine slant, a few light bends, small chip on back.

If this is still available, take. Thanks.

Yes, Sir. I love the Avon originals from this period. Brewer adds 100% to it 👊

The Fire Goddess by Sax Rohmer   Gold Medal 283.      PBO  First Print December 1952      $20

The second Sumuru novel.  Glorious Good Girl art remains uncredited however it is certainly in the style of, if not by, Barye Phillips.

Fine plus. Solid, square with glossy bold covers. Edgewear to the spine, no bad creases.
