Absolutely beautiful I Am Legend's! That Gold Medal (along with certain Jim Thompson, Chester Himes and David Goodis books) would be a "Holy Grail" for my paperback collection. Bravo! :)
This page has all kinds of awesome in it. Wow, great stuff! :)
Great covers, zeling! Fawcett Gold Medals and Dell First Editions are my very favorite paperback publishers.
Yeah that's a great book. I have the signed limited and the regular trade...
Robert McGinnis is my all-time favorite paperback illustrator. An absolute master! He's apparently done over 1,000 covers in his time, and like Herman Wouk he's still alive (and working)! Here are...
Hey guys, thanks for the kind comments!
RC65, I don't know much about the guy to tell you the truth. There is virtually nothing written about him on the Net. I know his father was the WWII...
One of my favorite pulp novelists... Basil Heatter. He's long forgotten in most circles, but he wrote some rip-roaring yarns in the 50's, 60's and 70's. I pick his books up whenever I can. Virgin Cay...
Neat. I have not read the Keller novels, unfortunately. I love Block, but I don't think I've read anything of his past 1990 or so. I love the early Rhodenbarr and Scudder books, but my absolute...
Very cool, RC65! Quite a collection. Do you have any of the Alan Marshall stuff from the late 50's, early 60's? My wife would give me the "evil eye" if I brought some of that stuff home. ;)
I...
Any Westlake fans here? He's one of the all-time greats IMHO.
Signed The Hook (2000).

I collect early PB reprints (in addition to PB originals) from John D. MacDonald, William Golding, Ray Bradbury, Ed McBain, Robert E. Howard, Richard Matheson, Lawrence Block and a few others. I also...
Charles R. Jackson anybody? Tragic life, brilliant writer! Underrated and seemingly all but forgotten these days.

Wow, idlewarnings! Your Don Robertson collection is amazing! Bravo! :)
More Johnny Mac...

Picked up a couple of nice books from a high school book sale recently. This was one of those 40,000+ books on sale, all donations, "not picked through", with no early entrance fee, sales....
Evan Hunter (aka Ed McBain), one of my very favorite authors. Known for his crime and police procedural books (and rightfully so), but he did it all: science fiction, westerns, horror, children's...
Gorgeous!
Found another JDM book. The House Guests, an autobiographical tale originally published in hardcover in 1965. This is a paperback reprint from the mid-80's, but still somewhat hard to find in good...
Stumbled upon this great edition of Frankenstein at one of my favorite used book stores. It's the original 1818 text, published by Bobbs-Merrill in 1974.

Hey, thanks. It's not a first printing and the top of the dust jacket is a little ragged, but for $6 I can't complain. I've been looking for this one in used book stores for years. It'll look nice...
