 Never Come Morning by Nelson Algren   Avon 185   1st Printing  1948          $25 SOLD to Goldust40

That is one gorgeous GGA cover. So elegant. Copyright office credited to Ann Cantor like many Avons from the period but not likely actually painted by her.  Classic Chicago JD novel by one of Avon's best sellers.

Fine minus/Fine. Great colors and page quality, Looks VFish. Spine and covers are generally smooth with only light small bends here and there and some edgewear to the covers and page tips. A closed tear with wrinkling on back keeps it out of high grades.

 Deadly Night Call by William Irish (Cornell Woolrich)  Graphic Mystery No. 81  1st PB Edition 1954   $35 SOLD to Comical Situations

Good girl plunging to her death cover art on this 1st collection from the suspense master. By far the nicest copy I've had for sale and a real toss up with my keeper. A book that generally got read to death.

Fine Plus.  A nice square copy with light edgewear and slight page uneveness. Has an arrival date stamped on the page edge, which is pretty neat and scarce to know these things with the vintage pbs.
