She Tried to Be Good by Florence Stonebraker   Venus Books No. 133    PBO 1951    $22

Bargain copy of one of the most famous covers in the hobby by Rudy Nappi.  Everybody has to have one.

Has a chunk out of the bottom of the back cover but a presentable front cover, which, let's face it, is what it's all about.

Raymond Johnson good girl in a classic pose. Lynn Munroe, who I respect highly, has this as a Charles Copeland cover but it's just not.
