Torture Garden by Octave Mirbeau      Lancer 74-840  1965     $45

One of the rarest Frazetta paperback covers. Rarely seen and usually trashed.

Square and tight with a slight ding to the lower right corner, light stain to the page edge on the back top. Smooth covers with light rubbing, no bad creases, much nicer than usual.

She's on fire :flamethrower:

This famous GGA cover art, likely by Peter Driben, was re-used on the comic book Intimate Confessions No. 7

Take Me Home by Fletcher Flora  Monarch Books No. 120   PBO 1959   $65  SOLD to TheComicsPreacher

Sublime cover art by Harry Schaare  graces this Lesbian classic. A very tough book in any condition. I'm probably crazy for selling it with what is happening with this genre.

VF minus  Square and glossy with the barest trace of a reader crease and a touch of wear at the upper right corner. "R" in pen on first page.
