House of Perversion by Jack Kahler   Exotik Books W-4  PBO 1964    $65  SOLD to Cimm

Incredible cat-fight GGA cover, about the best I've ever seen on a pb. A rare book in any condition

Solid and tight. Has moderate lean, a bit of light creasing, wear to the corners/edges and dust soiling to the spine area. All in all still a very collectible copy

French Alley by Matthew Clay  Zenith Books ZB-38   1960   $25  SOLD to Cimm

Just maybe *slightly* upgraded this one - really no difference from my keeper. Prostitute cover art is uncredited but obviously by one of Martin Goodman's excellent Men's Adventure Mag staff.

Glossy, bright and tight. Fresh looking with almost no wear.
