ciorac Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I lingered over this one on Marnin's site a long time. Glad I finally bought it. I will snap some interior shots at another time as they are stellar. Really like it I like these inside covers better than most I've seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I always really liked the Detroit Trolley comics, and when Marnin had them I looked at these, but never made a move on them. Well Brent had them on eBay and I snagged them both I used to have the Larson of this book, but sold it to Archie Steve. Glad to have the Trolley copy this one featured an ad for Sparkler #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine48 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 So the mailman finally came with my birthday presents, to myself I've long wanted to read this series, but didn't really want to chase the set. So, along comes an opportunity to buy the whole set at once. Lower grades, but they are for reading That is probably my favorite Atlas set Bill. Congrats!!! Wonderful books for reading and just charming art to boot. (thumbs u A great gift to yourself!Could you show a few interiors as you read,with sugar on top?
