I just got a copy of this one last week. I assume it will be a good read too.

Cleaning out my garage and found a couple boxes of old books and paperbacks that I totally forgot about. Mostly stuff that wasn't worth enough to ship when I sold my old collection. Funny, this long box looks more interesting many years later! Theres actually a couple decent books in there!

This 1941 hardcover collection from World Publishing that was in there is very interesting. Aside from some cool stories, the astute collector will recognize that skull :)

It's gotta be great to come across a cool garage find in your own garage. :banana:

Nice rediscoveries, SA!  As I get older, that seems to happen to me more often.  I've found stacks of comics in closets that I completely forgot about.  More than once... :whatthe:

I got a small sampling of fun in today.  First is a couple of Maguire covers with a similar theme.

Next a couple of Avons.  With this version of House of Fury, there's only one left that I don't have.  It's going to cost an arm and a leg but hopefully soon...

And last, a very sharp copy of a Belarski Pop Library.  Great stuff all around!

Good ones, Surf, and as damonwad says- great way to score. Your posting of Candide yesterday (I'll take your second if you get a first) inspired me to push the button on a Voltaire I've long wanted...

It's yours if I get one Pat, but damned if you're not making me go look at my hardcovers 🤣

Books are beautiful :headbang:

The Curse Of The Collector :whatthe:

Beautiful stuff! Keep it going!

Here's a Mitchell Hooks JD cover I picked up and i'm happy to share from his "Stylistic" period.  I call it that because in interviews he says that he hated having to paint the gorgeous girl and had a lot more fun finding compositions that sold the idea of the book.

This topic can't be discussed here on the boards.  :gossip:  And yes, it's a train wreck.  I had a book sent from Culver City, CA to my brother in LA.  It had to travel a massive 5 miles and I paid for overnight delivery.

It took 8 days to get there...
