So, I don't collect Westerns and I don't collect horror, but apparently I collect Western horror:

I'd never noticed this cover before. NOW it's on my want list (thumbs u

 

Brother, I know the feeling. Wantlistitis (def. The malady of want lists growing much faster than budgets.) :cry:

Ever since the Cosmic Aeroplane copy passed through my hands years back, I have been after one of these. Finally got one!

Very sweet book! I like the Flessel covers on those early DC's.

if you don't have a little western horror in your collection, you aren't trying.

Well, I always thought you were trying.

 

I've been trying not to be trying, and it's tiring.

The boards have shown me SO many books that I hadn't seen before :ohnoez: I'll likely never find all of the books that I'd like to have, but that's what makes collecting fun: The thrill of the search!!! I'm pretty sure if I could buy every single book I wanted, every time I saw it for sale, I'd become pretty bored after a while zzz

I think I have a low grade copy of that one if you want a reader to go with your stunner

Speaking of seeing so many cool books since joining these boards another cool place I often find books to cure my, "wantlistitis" :D is the Gerber journals...Picked this up for a song off of the Bay. Love the Silver Streak run and found this intriguing as the back cover to issue #5 is switched from the actual guide itself so they must have straightened it out prior to printing. Anyone else have any of these? I am sure they aren't rare seeing they made 30 of each but still neat IMO...

Love the Benson and the T. Holt books!! Neat stuff!! This aint too shabby either Frisco!!

 

Thanks Gino :) I'll tell ya, it was a shame to slab it. It's SUCH a tight, glossy book!!! I think the right bottom front cover corner which has a slight round to it, is what kept the grade out of the 9's. I DID enjoy it raw for 4 or 5 years, but might sell it, so I think it'd sell better slabbed.
