The  Iron  Dream,   by  Norman  Spinrad

1972,  Avon,    first   publication  anywhere,   first  printing. 

One of the  weirdest   science  fiction   stories  I've  ever  read. 

Here's  the  backstory.  This  novel   won   the    Hugo  Award  posthumously  in  1954  for...wait for it...Adolf  Hitler. 
It  seems  that   after  a  failed    flirtation   with   radical  politics,  Hitler  emigrated  to  America,  and  started  doing   
spot  illustrations  for   science  fiction  pulp  magazines,  and  eventually   writing   stories  for the  pulps.  
The Iron  Dream  was  his  magnum  opus,   published  shortly  after  his  death  in  1953,   and  it  copped   the Hugo  the next  year. 

Well,    they  smoked  a  lot of  weed  in  the  early  70's...

Hrrrrmph.   To  continue.

Flat and tight,   nice  condition  all  around  except  for  a  small  water stain  upper  LH  corner  FC. 

Grab a copy  of  an  exceptionally   strange  science  fiction  novel  by   "Adolf  Hitler"  for  $15

this is way too weird, which means I've got to have it.  take!

Oddly enough, I have a copy of that, which was my sister or brothers copy at one time.  It's a space filler in one of the comic boxes.

Watchmen  theatrical  poster 
My understanding  is that if  the  reverse of the poster is the  reverse of the image,  it's the  real  deal.  That's what  I have here.

In as-new  shape,    shipped  rolled  in  a  cardboard  tube.

Exact  shipping  on this item,  and  I  won't  have  a  clue  what  the  cost  will be  until  I head  to the  PO,  never  shipped  a rolled poster  before.  

Asking  $20

I'm  not kidding,  it's  a  damned  weird book.  Read it circa  1980,  when it  was  reissued  in  a  TPB  format,  as  part  of  a  series  of  classic  SF  novels.

I think I tried to start it several times, but never made it.
