Women in Love #nn, 1952. Scarce (as noted in Overstreet) 100-page romance book. Must be rare indeed; I've only ever seen one other copy. Contents appear to be all-original, not reprints?, but not sure. Hilariously angst-filled cover story in which the couple in question agonizes over whether to do The Deed That Dare Not Speak Its Name (even though this was before the CCA!). Actually, my fave story here is called “I Was a Greenwich Village Character”, about a young woman who falls in with that New York City artist crowd that everyone warned her about… smile.gif This copy grades Good; heavy overall wear, but solid spine & solid copy, nice offwhite pages. Back cover (which incredibly enough is an ad for a cigarette lighter!) is here. Truly scarce in any grade. $45 SOLD

First Romance #3, 1949. Early Harvey romance book with a quite charming & innocent cover, before they started torqueing up the drama & sleaze. Well above average copy looks F with very bright inks and near-white pages, but back cover is more like VG- because of some edge crimps from being bundled back in the day…I'll call it a strong VG+ overall. Still a tough early book to find with this eye appeal. $11 SOLD
