BB-Gun Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) These books are for Ciorac. I know you have an obsession with "Paul" books too. Ed didn't originally find the collection. He was just one of the first buyers. I got about 100 of them after Ed. Here ais a sampling of some of the cooler ones:There were a lot of DC's My copy of Jumbo 47 has Paul written on it. Does it count as part of the collection? Edited January 9, 2015 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Looks like it could be. Do you know when and where you got it? I never saw any of the bulk of the Friction House books. I did get a beater Fight #10 I believe. (the underwater one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Thanks CrocHntr & Robot Man, I love the checking/file copies as well. I don't think the stamp detracts at all I also love date stamps and books with names on them. It gives to book Character ! The Don Winslow #1 I have has occupation writing on it repeatedly "I always picture a kid during WW2 in a social studies type class writing on the book while the teacher talks about some far away land and the war."

Robot Man Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Way to go! My kind of books. I've been looking to complete my Speeds and that one is close to the top of the list. Those 20's numbers are impossible to find in any shape. Wait until you open up that Four Favorites. It's got a Classic L B Cole Hitler story that is hard to top. My first two purchases of the NEW YEAR hath arrived at the residence!!! Thanks again fellow boardies!!!

Congrats Gino! When you PM'd me about the book, I had no idea it was a done thing! Well this is my 1000th post and it couldn't be to a more nicer guy. Youve always great things to say about all the collectors and collections here so here's a big hand(s) to you for two SUPER acquisitions!! The Harvey line needs a thread. If there isn't one already, I can't think of a better book to kick it off GIno. And the FF, you know I love Ace almost as much as I love MLJ's and Looney Tunes! Sweet!

Sweet! thanks Corey my friend that's much appreciated dude!!!! I certainly will either dig up the old one if I can find it or start a new one!! I'm in the process of getting a new iMac desktop bc my old ones running pretty slow these days so all my posts have been from either my phone or my iPad but when I do I will make that happen they have a nice little lineup of books I'm sure all would enjoy seeing and sharing!!
