Campus Town by Hart Stillwell Popular Library    #331 1st PB 1st Printing       1951       $190

Bondage/Whipping/Headlights GGA cover by Earle Bergey. One of the rarest, most sought after and reproduced cover images in all of Vintage Paperbacking. These have gone dry in the market lately.

Fine Plus. Solid, square and glossy. No major creases, light general wear, mild crease, some minor color flecking to the cover, lightly toned supple pages. Quite nice.

One of my favorite paperbacks of any genre.  Never get tired of seeing it, congratulations to both the buyer and seller.

Edit:  For those that are unaware, this book predates Shock Suspenstories 6 by a year.
