Set of six Very Fine Pocket Book Science fiction titles with full silver spines   $90

I want to keep this set together as they came from the collection I bought - because of their uniform high gloss and near perfect silver spines, which are so prone to rubbing. Great cover art by Meltzoff, Bergey and Schulz among others.

All flat glossy and unread looking. War of the Worlds has a small mark on the cover.

More pictures available on request but rest assured, these look and feel like they walked out of a time capsule.
