I'm pretty sure the market value of my good friend's gorgeous snow-white-paged Spokane copy just took a big jump.  

Tempted to sell it for somewhere near that price.

The Killer Inside Me by Jim Thompson and The Black Mass of Brother Springer by Charles Willeford    $15 for the pair

Minty reader's of two of the craziest noir novels ever conceived by the warped minds of men

Not Golden Age, but crazy that these are listed as "vintage" by sellers now, having been published in the 1980's in the Black Lizard/Quill noir revival. I remember them new on the rack in bookstores

Unread with minimal edgewear
