Lynn Munroe mentions that back in the 1970's and 1980's there were second hand used bookstores that would sell vintage paperbacks for pennies. That's is certainly what I found out in NJ. I had a job that kept me on the road and I would always check out the used bookstores for paperbacks. <br /><br />I know it's hard to believe but back then there were not alot of vintage paperback collectors. I remember more than once finding a store where I bought every vintage pb for a dime each, and the owners were so happy to get rid of them. They also looked at me like I was crazy because no one had ever shown any interest in the stuff.<br /><br />For 30 years I looked for vintage paperback racks which you used to see in stores crammed full of pbs. Finally a few years ago I found 6 of them in Chicago. Tom Lesser took one and I bought the other five. <br /><br />However, except for key titles, I've seen a big drop in prices for Gold Medal, Dell, Signet, etc(I'm talking East Coast). I think we are way past the paperback boom, if there ever was such a thing.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
