A Lady Named Lou by Donald Henderson Clarke   Avon Special (NN) #2  1949     $75  SOLD to Goldust40

Ray Johnson stripper in the spotlight cover on this rare digest. One of my favorites. I really shouldn't be selling these Avon Big Girl digests but I can't keep everything.

Fine minus/Fine.   Tight and bright with clean staples (rare!) Small split to lower spine, a bit of wear around the edges but a nice looking example overall.

The Vengeful Virgin by Gil Brewer   Crest Book No. 238   PBO  1958      $20  SOLD to OuterBoroGuy

That red hair Brewer's guys always fall for these crazy beeshes and they take him down...every...single...time

Unread copy with very little wear. It has an uneven dust shadow that I am marking down for.  Still displays well.

Once Off Guard by J.H. Wallis    Popular Library No. 385    1951    $35

Basis for the 1944 film noir "Woman in the Window" - a scarce book in any edition and this is a very nice high grade copy with great uncredited cover art.

VF minus/VF    Has a hairline reader crease and light indent on back cover, that's about it!

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey    Signet Books No. T2240  1st Printing February 1963     $40  SOLD to Goldust40

Finding the 1st printing of this is like finding a needle in the haystack of a zillion printings that were done. Finding it without creases is even tougher.

Fine Plus/VF minus.  Tough black cover is square, tight and bright. Has little bits of edgewear, mostly on the spine edges, but no big creases or other defects
