Time Trap by Rog Phillips   Century Book No. 116  PBO   1949   $30 SOLD to Comical Situations

Small paperback size (Century alternated with Digests)

Incredible Malcolm Smith cover art of a three eyed Good Girl with ray gun - much rarer than the other couple of Century science fiction titles

A pretty decent collectible copy. Spine slant, some creasing, pages tanning, still tight.  I've never seen a VF copy, this was my keeper until recently.

The Room In The Dragon Inn by Joseph Sheridan LeFanu   Avon 702 1st PB    1956   $25

Nice GGA, probably Raymond Johnson but not sure enough to credit it in the article.

The only early US paperback edition of any of the Arkham House author's stories. I've found it very hard to find in clean condition, it's such a fragile little book.

Solid, square and glossy. Has a reader crease, a bit of edgewear, otherwise quite nice and clean
