It Ain't Hay by David Dodge  Dell Books No. 270   Mapback.     1st PB    1949      $60 Sold to ThePreacher

Very early drug book. Classic Gerald Gregg cover with Death rowing a joint over the River Styx in a coffin with the smoking Good Girl rising up off the tip.  "Fridge magnet" and "classic" get tossed around a lot. This is what one looks like. 

Nice square copy with lamination 99% there, lifting on the right side, with a few non color breaking ceases on the front and back cover. Colors are amazing, so, despite the mentioned flaws, looks fantastic.
