Dell Map back “Ride the Pink Horse” 1946 First Dell printing Murder mystery Dorothy B. Hughes Vintage paperback
The binding is solid, not cracked or shook. The reason I have graded this as just "good plus" is that there is what appears to be some predation at the top of the spine. Otherwise complete and solid. Text block closes tightly, a hint of roll. Much of the glossy coating appears to have come off the covers. Original owner names penned inside front free endpaper, otherwise no writing, no torn pages. Super fun! This is one of Ms. Hughes best known of 14 crime noir novels, and it was made into a film by Robert Montgomery in 1947. Please see the images for full condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.

Philip K. Dick “The Preserving Machine” First edition vintage hardcover Short story anthology
This is a first edition and first appearance of this collection in hardcover format, with the requisite gutter code of 48K indicating the November '69 printing. This volume has a solid, tight textblock with intact gutters and hinges. Green tinted upper edge shows what was likely some moisture exposure washing out some of the stain, nothing visible on the interior of the pages. No writing apparent. The board corners are crisp with just the upper back ever so slightly bumped, a little wear at the very tips. No loose, torn or folded pages. The matching vintage dust wrapper shows a fair amount of surface wear all around, most so on the back. Edge wear all around with some small losses. Tanned along edge at the top. No writing, not clipped. Now in a removable archival sleeve. Story list: "The Preserving Machine" "War Game" "Upon the Dull Earth" "Roog" "War Veteran" "Top Stand-By Job" "Beyond Lies the Wub" "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" (The basis for the "Total Recall" film adaptations) "Captive Market" "If There Were No Benny Cemoli" "Retreat Syndrome" "The Crawlers" "Oh, to be a Blobel!"
