Great finds!
I went in a chain bookstore the other day with the intention of buying the Foster Star Trek books for a friend - surprised not to find them in the swaths of Star Trek books on the shelf.
Is the Lovecraft one of the Arkham House hardcovers? Good deal if so - it's a pleasure to read those black hardcovers - the font/page size/book weight seems to really come together in those.
I used to own that Frankenstein adaptation. I remember it having some pretty cool illustrations.
Ricky, Yeah, the Frankenstein has some pretty cool illustrations. Dave, the Lovecraft is one of the paperbacks with the freaky greytone pictures on it. No way our library would let an Arkham House book out the doors.
I love libraries making way for new books by allowing us (the public) to buy some of their donated overstock or older (out-of-print) paperbacks.
Nice collection.
I love going to a library book sale and deeply regret that the system here in Chicago has banned them in the last year or so for reasons no one can adequately explain to me. Fortunately there are lots of other avenues for cheap vintage paperback purchases hereabouts so I cannot complain too much. Thanks for sharing details of your haul. Wouldn't have expected all the Trek books but that double by Ursula Curtiss sounds (hopefully) up your alley.
My last big score (just a week ago) was large run of Edward S. Aaron Spy novels (Fawcett Gold Medal paperbacks). I'm not sure if the content would appeal to you as much as the cover art, but they do have that vintage sex and violence thing I think you'd approve of.
Damn, that's one bag full of goodness. You lucky SOB!
I love library book sales
why here in Chile there are no library sales????
