I love vintage paperbacks, in particular sci-fi, fantasy/sword & sorcery, horror, pulp and men's adventure books. I have shelves of them, and am always on the look out for more. Cover art is a big part of the draw (especially Frazetta covers, but all kinds of genre artists are big draws for me), but I love the feel of reading paperbacks as well.
I am curious is anyone here is into the vintage paperback scene as well. I'd love to hear what people have, find and/or are looking for.
I made a Half Price Books run today, and picked up a big ole pile of vintage sci-fi (and a few horror,fantasy & 1 men's adventure) paperbacks to add to my to read list.
The haul included:
the Outlander novelization by Alan Dean Foster
the Alien novelization by Alan Dean Foster
Logan's Run by William F. Nolan & Clayton Johnson
Logan's World by William F. Nolan
Gateway by Frederik Pohl
Han Solo and the Lost Legacy by Brian Daley
Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon by Malcolm Hulke
Perry Rhodan #17: The Venus Trap by Kurt Mahr
Thongor Fights the Pirates of Tarakus by Lin Carter
The Shuttered Room and other Tales by HP Lovecraft
Robert E. Howard's Cthulhu: The Mythos & Kindred Horrors edited by David Drake
Marchers of Valhalla by Robert E. Howard
Worms of the Earth by Robert E. Howard
Almuric by Robert E. Howard
The Executioner Book 4: Miami Massacre
