Scientifiction - Robots, Death Rays, Aliens, Good Girls and Bad Girls - Golden Age Paperbacks 1 1

[Surfing Alien]

I didn't have much Science Fiction in the last sale and was asked for more so I'm gonna hit the ground running with some of the classics and high grade books, also a lot of great vintage readers and midgrade vintage $5 and $10 stuff. There will be noir and girly books too of course, I can't have a sale without GGA, but just a lot more SF this time. Keep an eye out for freebies as they'll be making random appearances as well

 

I've been buying selling and trading Vintage pb's since the Hancer Price Guide came out back in the 80's. Been on Ebay since 1998 with 100% positive feedback.

I tend to grade paperbacks in the manner of current pulp grading:  Poor/Fair/Good/Very Good/Fine/Very Fine  

I'm a high grade collector so my books are almost all Very Good and better if they're available in those grades. Many pre-1960 books just aren't available in high grade often so I try to find solid Good-Very Good ones if I can.

The rules for this thread are:

-No HoS or Probation list buyers

-I will ship to Canada but will have to quote shipping options.

-Payment via Venmo or Paypal preferred. I also can do Zelle although it is a bit more of a pain to do.

-Shipping via USPS Media Mail for $5 or Priority Small Box for $11 for the continental United States.  More than one book I will ship at the least extra cost practicable. Shipping for Canada, UK and other foreign countries will be quoted.

-First  in the thread wins and prevails over pm offers
-Returns accepted for 14 days after delivery but please let me know asap if you are unhappy for any reason and I will make it right. I do miss things occasionally.

Feel free to pm with offer or questions.  I'm always open to reasonable package offers.

Helene is rolling into the Tampa area right now, we're getting wind and rain but don't anticipate too bad an effect here. Now that Mark and Douglas have finished out their excellent PB sales, I'll start listing a few this evening unless the power goes out

[Cimm]

So, you're saying "Don't hold yer breath"?

Swordsmen in the Sky  Edited by Donald A. Wollheim  Ace Books F-311  PBO 1964      High grade beauty with a Frank Frazetta battle cover and Jack Gaughan interiors.  $20

This Ace is one of a bunch I will list that have a gloss that looks like they came off the delivery truck in the 1960's. This one has a faint bend to upper right and light toning but virtually no other creasing or edgewear and has that new look.
