A quick post here before offering these elsewhere.

PM's are welcome, but the first "take it" in thread trumps all. HOS-ers and Probationites need not apply.

Payment by Paypal within 3 days. Returns within 30 days in the same condition. Shipping $8 via fully insured US Mail within the United States. Books will be shipped within 3 business days of payment (typically quicker than that, though). Contact me for international shipping rates, which will be expensive because I ship only by fully insured methods.

I'm happy to provide better photos than these crappy iPhone pics. Just ask.

Zoot #14

This is the Zoot #14 from March, 1948 (which GCD calls 14a), not the Zoot #14 from May, 1948 (which GCD calls 14b, and which was not used in SOTI).

This is a great SOTI book chock full of GGA and bikini-clad women in battle. Many condition issues here. Brittle at the edges, heavy wear, loose CF. The top edge is blackened as though it's been in a fire, but it doesn't have a smoky smell to it. It mostly just smells like old comic book. Used on page 104 of SOTI, so I've included a pic of the page that was cited, as well as a pic from page 104 of SOTI. Wertham didn't like the woman nailed to trees with blood flowing from her arms. Go figure.

Yours for $120.

Here are a couple additions (editions? I guess either way you spell it, it's correct), featuring the queen of 1940's bondage: Wonder Woman.

For years, the Famous First Editions stood out to me as some of the best reprint books ever made. What could be better than oversized full reprints, covers-and-all (mostly), of books I could never afford?
I loved my FFE's, and for years tried unsuccessfully to find the hardcovers that Overstreet said existed. I scoured the pages of TBG/CBG, and searched at cons and stores, but I could never find these elusive hardcovers.
I even put out fliers at cons in Boston in the 1990's offering to pay many multiples of Guide for hardcover FFE's, and I got no responses.

Thanks to the internet era, I was finally able to complete a set of the hardcovers. I've had these undercopies sitting around for some years now, and it's time for somebody else to enjoy them. If you love these books as much as I do, now's your chance to pick up some affordable hardcovers. Still great reading after all these decades.

Wonder Woman #1 Famous First Edition Hardcover. The dust jacket is heavily damaged, and a previous owner taped the jacket, damage-and-all-, to the book. $30
