I remember being completely blown away. Alas, I was a starving student at the time, so didn't return. Now, I realize that food is a temporary thing, whereas a good Prather lasts forever.Jaredhttp://www.pornokitsch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-68849540623196559172011-06-07T22:25:17.817-05:002011-06-07T22:25:17.817-05:00You got some gorgeous vintage books!

I am one of the ones who hasn't read Carroll John Daly, I'll have to put him on the TBR list.Anja K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04807435343847113353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-21739847697565674672011-06-07T13:55:45.615-05:002011-06-07T13:55:45.615-05:00I think I will get a facsimile DJ for Tainted Powe...I think I will get a facsimile DJ for <i>Tainted Power</i>. Mark Terry who owns Facsimile Dustjackets LLC has one for this book and I like the work he does. Maybe I can finagle a deal with him if I send him scans of some of the rare DJs I have. I hear from others that he sometimes will do that.<br /><br /><i>The Time Masters</i> is the Signet paperback. I didn't put up a picture since it's fairly well known book in the PB format. It's the 3rd one I've found, and I had wanted to read it for years but I kept selling each copy before I could get to it. Now I can. Strange that you mention a DJ for that book. I actually did find the first edition hardcover with a DJ of Tucker's book last year and put it up for auction on eBay thinking it would generate a lot of interest. But no dice. I did sell it but only for the minimum bid. And it went to - Bill Pronzini! He buys so many of my books I should just open a website for him to browse and shop.<br /><br />After I read <i>The Cheim Manuscript</i> I'd be more than willing to give it to you, Rick. I'm not big on keeping paperbacks. Except for Dell Mapbacks which I really love. I usually read and then sell them. It's in superior condition. I'd call it FINE with no hesitation.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-53805531442669554492011-06-07T13:28:46.945-05:002011-06-07T13:28:46.945-05:00Furthermore, I've been trying to get my hands ...Furthermore, I've been trying to get my hands on a VG or F copy of Cheim for a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-47369173879642302772011-06-07T13:05:16.569-05:002011-06-07T13:05:16.569-05:00I have 32 Shell Scott books and you find 2 I don&#...I have 32 Shell Scott books and you find 2 I don't have. Darn!. The cover on that Craig SO YOUND SO WICKED is hot stuff. <br /><br />Congrats on Tainted Power. Of course you'd want the DJ if such had existed, even in fair condition, and one wonders if it was poor enough the seller dumped it to get more (ha!). Would you ever consider putting a reproduction DJ on a book like this?<br /><br />It certainly seems you have a wonderful time. I wish I could have been there, tagging along. You might have had to tussle with me over that Wilson Tucker book. By the way, did it have a DJ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-48194325986027414412011-06-07T09:18:39.244-05:002011-06-07T09:18:39.244-05:00Nice haul here, especially the Daly.

My luck doesn't run that way, though.(sigh)Randy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627907086811387527noreply@blogger.com
