Here is an assortment of 9 vintage paperback Perry Mason or other mystery novels by Erle Stanley Gardner (one written under the name A. A. Fair). Most published by Pocket Books. Printed in the U.S.A.

I have placed a ruler in some pictures for size reference. Mass market paperbacks with color tint closed page edges.

I show the original copyright printing date and the latest printing date shown on the publishing page.

I fanned through each book. All books show handling wear and aging, range from good to fair condition. Expect a range of creases, smudges, soiling, rubs, scuffs, spots, tanning, spine tilt, spine creasing, nicks or short tears.... I point out some wear and tear. Firm bindings. Three books have initials, name or scribble written inside the front cover or on the front end page. One book has a date written on the closed page edges. Pages show range of aging, some tip creases, edge nicks. It's possible I overlooked something when fanning through. No musty or smoke odor.
