Here's a quickie for a busy Monday morning. A few Tom Swift Books that I came across on Heritage Auctions. I do love colorful futuristic illustrations from the 50s and 60s. Looks like Tom had some very expensive toys.
Victor Appleton II. Tom Swift and His Space Solartron. Grosset & Dunlap, 1958. First edition, first printing. Sold for $62
Four Tom Swift books. Grosset & Dunlap, 1956-1964. Two volumes in dj. Very good or better condition.
I'm not exactly sure what book this is, but it has lovely patterned and tattered boards.
These mystery and crime paperbacks from the 40s featured crime scene maps on the back and some wonderful cover illustrations, especially those by Gerald Gregg. There are lots of his covers here on Flickr.
