 Ace F-344  The Well of the Worlds by Henry Kuttner.     1st Edition.   1965    $25

Beautiful Alex Schomburg cover art.  One of his few paperback covers.

A stunning razor sharp glossy unread copy. Toned inside but looks like it just rolled off the printing press.

Ace F-356  Earth's Last Citadel  by Henry Kuttner.     1st Edition.   1964    $25

Maybe my favorite Alex Schomburg cover from the same high grade Ace collection. I believe it's Schomburg's first for Ace.

Razor sharp glossy unread copy. Tough black cover shows the few color flecks around the edges.  Toned inside but also looks like it just rolled off the printing press

Avon Fantasy Reader No. 5     1947     $20

Amazing nude/nipple GGA cover art. I believe it's by Weird Tales artist A.R. Tilburne   C.L. Moore, Robert Bloch, Carl Jacobi etc. stories

Front looks great, back has staining and paper loss, staples have usual rust but a well presenting copy of one of Avon's craziest Golden Age covers.

More great uncredited Golden Age Avon GGA cover art.    Usual Weird Tales authors, Robert E. Howard, C.A.Smith, Sax Rohmer, C.L. Moore, etc. stories

Avon Fantasy Reader No. 8     1948                      $25

Robert E. Howard Conan cover story.    This run of covers are just some great vintage Avon GGA.       Lovecraft and Bradbury inside.  

A pretty looking mid grade copy. Front cover is smooth and glossy, no creasing, back has some light staining, surface paper loss to edge and usual rust to staples.

This great vintage Bantam collection edited by Bradbury is FREE reading to whoever claims it first

Goldust beat me to it, and I have a copy already anyway, but I'm curious:  did you deliberately omit the bit where you said the claimer had to buy or have bought something in the thread?
