Me too! It took a while to find the right copy. 

It's taken me a while to find any copy since I saw this pic.

Happy  Saturday!

As the story goes, this copy was found in elderly lady home, when she retired, slipped in between the pages of a magazine and kept safe in her mementos dresser. The only comic in the house.

Wow ! Could you imagine! all I would find in a old magazine would be an expired 25c coupon for Crisco

Nice! Beyond the phenomenal covers, these interiors are comic book history.

I have a 7 that is kinda weird.  The book is fully laminated, including all interior pages.  It weighs like two pounds.  But it appears it was fully split down spine and brittle so it is easily readable now.  Oh and the coolest part... it is signed by Joe Shuster!  Here are pics showing quite a bit of the interior.  Note the Flessel splash for the text story.  I remember one story also features a yellow peril torture scene where they lock the victim in a body cage and introduce hungry rats.  The Spy story features a great Hindenburg splash, and the disaster occurred in May of '37, so this comic was probably drawn shorty after.  And of course the Thompson machine gun cover is a favorite.

Nice, it looks better than a 4.5.   And that book does not exist in high grade, believe me I've looked.
