SELECTED BOOKS PICTURED

From time to time a potential customer will ask for images of a book. I happily comply and email them. Often not hearing back I do not know whether the email has arrived, or been filtered out along the way due to image attachments. So, to be safe I have decided to post images from those requests here, and provide this link instead. Thus, the images can be seen by the world. I have included my catalogue descriptions and price. If not marked sold, feel free to contact me to purchase – ORDERING INFORMATION – the images may be “clicked” for a larger size view. NOTE – quickly taken images for customer requests, colors may be off a tad due to lighting also causing some shadowing.

Thank you, RAY

Customer asking for these images on 2 December replied: “I looked at the pics, and I appreciate the speed with which you got back to me. Unfortunately, these are a later version than the ones I am seeking. The earliest jackets replicate the art from the front board, rather than a mish-mash of all the titles. The title lettering on the spine of the book, as well as the front board will be in gold.”
