Invitation to Violence by Lionel White  Signet 1707  1st PB 1st Printing September 1959    $35

Killer bondage cover art (Schulz maybe?) to one of my favorite crime authors tougher pbs.

Another book that is far more than it's cover. White writes great crime capers that keep the pages turning.

Square and tight. Covers are bright and glossy, smooth and uncreased. Has a few small bends and color flecks. Tough black cover.

 Vampirella, Bloodstalk by Ron Goulart.  Warner Books 76-928  1st Printing  November 1975  $30

Classic Jose Gonzalez Vampirella cover

Square, glossy and smooth - discounted due to a few spine stresses. Still far better than usual copy.

Strip The Heart (Freakshow)  by Jacquin Sanders   Popular Library 668  1st PB 1954   $25  SOLD to Goldust40

I'm a freak about Carny's and freakshows so grab every vintage pb I can on the subject. This is one of the sickest. If you liked "Nightmare Alley" you'll love "Freakshow"

Moody GGA cover, uncredited but has a strong sense of DeSoto who did a lot of Pops.

Solid tight copy. Has slight lean, a few mild creases and edgewear, discoloration on the back. Attractive overall and pretty tough to come by.

Anything To Win by Dean McCoy  Beacon B563F   PBO   1962  $35  SOLD to crassus

Sweet back shot GGA cover art by Jerry Podwil.

An unread copy of a super tough black cover. Looks new, deep color and gloss. Almost no wear, a touch of color loss on the lower spine, very slight curl to book from storage about all there is to mention. Tough to beat this one.
