Signet   JD/Hard Boiled      1950's combo        $15

Nice appearing mid grade copies, both have uneven pages but tight. Covers are pretty nice, "Bullets" has a pressure mark on cover

Bad Sue by Norman Bligh     Quarter Books No. 79     PBO  1950           $65

Rare Quarter Books digest. Just never see them for sale anymore.  One of my favorite Howell Dodd Bad Girls covers.  Iconic. Great font design as well.

Fine. Square and tight with mild creasing, edgewear and light rubbing. Staples are totally clean inside, which is rare for these digests.

Ok, I had a few minutes to sort and will have a nice diverse section of science fiction, some of it very high grade, to start tomorrow. Hope to see you then

I'm getting organized and going to do a short session in a few

Best of both worlds - it's actually considered a classic Golden Age sci fi PB for both reasons

[Surfing Alien]

A bit beat but complete Fredric Brown Science Fiction novel with a neat Mitchell Hooks cover. He didn't do much SciFi   FREE to the first to claim

Mockingbird by Walter Tevis   Bantam 14144-9    1st Paperback Edition 1st Print April 1981     $50

Haunting, apocalyptic cover art of a rusting Manhattan by Lou Feck, alas, the Twin Towers were not to rust in peace. Fits the poetic, elegiac mood of the novel.

An excellent copy of the scarce 1st paperback edition of the 1981 Nebula nominated novel.

Very Fine minus.  Square and super glossy. Appears very lightly read. Light edgewear.   I will include a remainder copy with the front cover off for a reader copy
