The Green Girl by Jack Williamson    Avon Fantasy Novel #2   First and only printing of this paperback first edition     1950        $80  Sold to jimjum12

One of the most reproduced Science Fiction PB covers of all time with Raymond Johnson's classic cover of the naked Green Girl in the clutches of the Vegetable monster

First higher grade copy I've been able to offer for sale. Has a few lateral NCB creases across the spine that don't photograph well and some NCB creases on the back but this is a square, glossy copy that i'm crazy to sell but I gotta get that tree chopped up

Never Say No To A Killer by Jonathan Grant (Clifton Adams) / Stab In The Dark by Louis Trimble  Ace D-157   1956  1st Edition PBO $50  SOLD to Goldust40

A near perfect copy of this Ace Mystery Double PBO 1st edition and very rare thus. "Stab" cover art is very likely Harry Barton. "Never" is beautiful but uncredited.

You won't find a better copy, square and glossy with no creasing, great pages. You just never see them like this.

Stepsons of Terra  by Robert Silverberg / A Man Called Destiny by Lan Wright     Ace Books     D-311    1958   $25  SOLD to Goldust40

I wish I could be in three places at once, but only Jimbo can achieve that :)     Sweet Ed Emshwiller, Ed Valigursky cover art

A gem of a copy, square, glossy, unread, no reader creases and just a whiff of wear and WHITE pages, which is pretty rare on an Ace double. A few tiny spots on the page edges.
