Lot 25 Vintage Paperback Book Classic Literature & Popular Novels Authors
Here is a group of 25 vintage paperback books by various authors. Mixed genre, with classic literature and modern novels by various authors. Most of these modern printings date from the 1950s - 1970s; and a few are more recent. Various publishers. Most printed in the U.S.A.
I have placed a ruler in some pictures for size reference. Most are mass market paperbacks and two are trade size paperbacks. I show the modern copyright printing date (not the original copyright date).
I fanned through each book. Four books have a name written inside the front cover or on the front end page; one has a bookplate inside the front cover; three have underlining and notations. All books show handling wear and aging, most in good condition, with light wear, rubs and scuffs overall. Nine books are in fair condition with more wear and tear, or have a lot of underlining and writing. Firm bindings. Pages show range of tanning, may be creased tips, nicked edges. It's possible I overlooked something when fanning through. No musty or smoke odor.
Books are in good condition unless noted to be in Fair condition.
