Beat up paperbacks

Beat Up Paperbacks
February 2022
Last month I went into a little local bookstore, that primarily has paperbacks in its inventory, and acquired some volumes in a variety of genres. 

At only $2 each, I don't mind some bent corners and pages, and small tears and rips, and maybe some magic marker stains, and some cracking of the binding......

The good thing about these old paperbacks is that, with the exception of 'Jitterbug', they're all short (under 300 pp.).

In the upper right corner, the book 'Black Bitches Dancing with Charlie', by Chuck Bianchi, was published by Pinnacle Books in 1989. It's a novel that is based on the real-life experiences of a man named Robert Jackson, who served in the Vietnam War. It has one of the most attention-getting titles of any paperback I've ever seen !

Well, I got my mint first edition 'Neuromancer' for ONE dollar! ;-)

(I really did, about 10 years ago at a library book sale... I consider it maybe my single greatest paperback find of all time!)
