FYI, this sweet cover art is by Robert Stanley, who did all those great Dell Mapback covers. My buddy Brian Emrich owns the original art

That's an awesome cover!  I was close to calling it as Stanley but you know my track record with attributions...

I'm going to do a very short term 20% off on what's left in this thread (most of these were at what I paid before the discount).

And that's all for now.  Thanks to everyone who purchased and/or looked.  I'll go through in the morning and clean up what's left.  In the meantime, feel free to PM with any questions or reasonable offers.

Ace D-433 (Double), Bradley, Jack/Powell, Talmage. If Hate Could Kill/The Smasher, 1960, FN 6.0. Very tight and bright copy with a very light opening crease on the spine but otherwise very fresh looking. Ace Doubles are tough to find this nice. $30  Sold to OtherEric

Signet S1850. Fleming, Ian. Moonraker. FN- 5.5. Structurally solid copy with just some surface and edge wear for the grade. Cool cover art by Barye Phillips. $50  Sold to goldust40
 

Pyramid Books G387. Connell, Vivian. The Dream and the Flesh, 1959. FN+ 6.5. A nice clean, bright copy with an unbroken spine but some general wear. Another gorgeous cover by Robert Maguire. $30
