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

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.

Untamed Darling by Jack Woodford   Avon No. 403   1952     $45  SOLD to Goldust40

I managed to dig out another nice copy of this classic Peter Driben cover of Eve offering the apple.  A gem from the round circle Avon period. This is the second numbering of the title.

Solid and tight with ultra-glossy lamination. Has very slight cover pull back, a light bend/crease to front cover that doesn't break color. Off white supple pages.
