I smell those dusty yellowed things and think I'm about to contract emphysema.<br /><br />But, just to be fair, I picked up a Fawcett Gold Medal of a John D McDobald at a thrift store earlier today. I passed on the older Matt Helm novels but bought an Ed Gorman western.Gerard Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289822422163685990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-47160366037567565162011-05-20T14:57:32.680-05:002011-05-20T14:57:32.680-05:00Found some Gold Medal paperbacks in Flint,MI @ Jel...Found some Gold Medal paperbacks in Flint,MI @ Jellybeans - their Dort Highway Collectible location.<br /><br />They carry Ace, Dell, Bantam etc.<br />Prices are reasonable too.<br /><br />Website here:<br />http://www.jellybeansonline.com/location.htm<br /><br />Also Kaleidoscope Books in Ann Arbor carry a selection of Gold Medal Books but are expensive<br /><br />CameronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-27188416824985436072011-05-20T12:58:54.619-05:002011-05-20T12:58:54.619-05:00Yes, it was Half-Price.

You live in Texas where there must be one on every corner. I always have luck findig great stuff in those stores. But the vintage paperback selection in the Illinois stores is nothing compared to those in Minnesota or Ohio. I found my copy of that Shell Scott book I reviewed a few weeks ago in a Half Price Books store.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-52218474380791382872011-05-20T12:39:53.565-05:002011-05-20T12:39:53.565-05:00I never find books like these anywhere.
