Boy is it nice when a cheap ebay win of a fuzzy pic tightly graded book ends up looking this nice in hand.  My junky iPhone photos don't do the gloss or rich colors on this copy justice.  Been looking for a copy of this possibly best Baker non-babe cover book for a while :)

Nice! The non-babe Baker covers are underappreciated, imo. I think this is one of the best.

I usually take a quick look at most of those GA romance lots, but I missed that one.

Seems so to me, although not listed in The Art of Glamour checklist.

Presenting my first... and possibly my last... full run of Bakers. :banana:

I like looking at them as a set with the #24 first. Kind of a "before and after marriage" narrative. hm

His unpublished cover to 25 shows them in divorce court.

Actually 23 is one of my favorite Baker covers. Not necessarily a cover that would inspire a teenage girl to part with her dime, though.

Well, I missed out by making an offer.  Hopefully one of you took down this beast.

I did see it and considered getting it but it didn't seem like an upgrade on my copy (which is no great shakes).

Btw, I just checked my spreadsheet and I bought this copy raw on eBay for $16.95. That was before many of you crazy mixed-up kids got into romance books ... and just about the time that I did.

This just arrived thus finishing off my Baker APC run.

Congrats! Great accomplishment. There are a few of those that are tough, even in ragged condition.

I think this issue is one of the more uncommon ones.  Does anyone have a high grade of TR12?

Very tough. I have a 2.5. The spreadsheet says I also have a raw VG ... but darned if I know where it is. Maybe it's the graded 2.5. hm

Far from his best work, but not one you see often...and not bad for 25$

Definitely a tough one. And for $25? Tremendous deal.

And this is why I said I aspire to be prince of Baker babe non romance only... nicely done!

I’d expect you’d pay a Kings ransom for such a regal New Hampshire copy.
