I love all of these and never lost my fondness for paperbacks in general. Lighter to carry around. Not a financial disaster if a beer is spilled on them or someone doesn't return them to you. And that glorious smell of the really old ones.

Not a paperback this time but old (1918) and, I think, beautiful in its way.


Excuse the double page scans.

Wahaaa, some of these are great!

"Jamaican hellcat on the marijuana trail in Fever Grass", wtf, must have!! :D

Btw I love the little penguin on the Penguin Books covers. Only good associations. It's a Maslow thing.
