Lobby cards for DESERT NIGHTS, a proto-noir, nasty, sweaty silent crime picture. Not quite as harsh as it probably should have been (this was MGM and not Lon Chaney) but excellent atmosphere

October 1st.
I’m rereading Ray Bradbury’s October Country.
The paperback on the right is worn out from being read too many times, and even the newer one I bought on the left is already tattered.
Looking at the colophon, it says 16th printing, issued on June 14, 1974—already 50 years ago…

poor House of Leather by the Fran Lebowitz as "Jim Conway" 🤯

Remember that time Fran Lebowitz wrote a porno? No? Well, she did in 1971 under a pseudonym and this is it. I saw a copy at the NY fair for $1250 a few years ago and cried. Got it this week for $35. Patience & knowing where to look are everything in book collecting. #DailyPaperback
House of Leather by Jim Conway. Cover shows a photo of two white men. One has is naked back to us and is moaning in submissive pleasure. The other looks like one of Thulsa Doom’s henchmen and is wearing a leather vest and brandishing a cat o’ nine tales above the other man’s head.

i've only read the crusty old pyramid books paperback! i wonder how different the non-lensman version is? i will say that even though the '50s books are still you know, OLD, i definitely remember enjoying grey lensman the most and then thinking children of the lens jumped the shark.

Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect
A black and white photo of a baseball game, you can see that it is mid pitch with a pirate at bat

1963 Topps Warren Spahn card with a very long, droopy mustache drawn on it in pen, along with circles around the eyes, a missing tooth, another mustache and beard combo on the inset photo, and maybe two blue nipples popping through the jersey. A price sticker on it says $6.

Sad to hear about the passing of acting legend Robert Redford. Before he was a member of the New York Knights, photographer Steve Schapiro captured Redford playing baseball in Central Park with his son and daughter.
