Atomic Blonde by Monte Steele  Playtime 639  PBO   April 1963    $50  SOLD to Cimm

Square tight and glossy. Has a very mild reader crease and a touch of wear here and there but a very nice copy of a cool sleaze book.

An Earth Man On Venus by Ralph Milne Farley  Avon 284  1st PB 1950    $90  SOLD to Goldust40

I'm probably crazy to let this nice a copy go but here it is. One of the ultimate "fridge magnet" books with Ray Johnson's famous Good Girl cover from the heart of the round circle Avon period.

An unread, premium copy with full lamination, killer gloss. Super flat with only a tiny bend on upper back cover. Pages tanning with a hint of page uneveness but everything tight inside. The best copy on the market I'm pretty sure.

House Of Sin by Dallas Mayo    Midwood 122    PBO   1961    $80

Lesbian classic with a great Gothic Robert Maguire cover.  Midwoods and Lesbian books are on fire and again I'm probably nuts to let this go but I got to buy more books. Garage Books would probably price it at $300

Unread, glossy, new looking copy. Has a small bend at bottom right corner a spine tic and couple tiny color chips at the spine tips , that's about it. Great pages and inner covers.

You'll Never See Me Again by William Irish   Dell 10 Cent No. 26    $60

Classic Cornell Woolrich/William Irish suspense/noir in a Dell dimer. Robert Stanley cover art.

Tough to find these skinny Dells like this one without spine tics - not a rare book but the tics are the Devil's work

Flat and glossy with smooth covers, spine edge has a bit of wear, tiny bend at top, but no spine tics or creases (or other creases) Staples are mostly clean, a touch of rust but better than most.

Undercover Sex by Brian Black        Beacon B796X   PBO   1965    $20  SOLD to Goldust40

Very nice headlights clinch pose on this one

If you're seeing a lot of Beacon Books it's because they probably paid for more GGA cover paintings than any other publisher in the late 1950's through early1960's (and I love collecting GGA ) They published well over a thousand "sleaze" novels that would be considered completely mainstream today and had a nice painted pin-up cover for the vast majority of them.

Unread copy with a slight curl, two creases on the back cover and few bends here and there.
