THE OAKDALE AFFAIR

Description: "THE OAKDALE AFFAIR". THIS IS A NICE COPY. ACE BOOKS #60563 THIS IS FROM THE TIME PERIOD WHEN BALLANTINE & ACE WERE FURIOUSLY PRINTING EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS BOOKS EVERY MONTH. I BOUGHT MOSTLY THE ACE VERSIONS BECAUSE THEY WERE .10 CENTS CHEAPER THAN THE BALLANTINE EDITIONS. BUT THERE WERE SOME STORIES BALLANTINE PRINTED THAT ACE DIDN'T, SO I ENDED UP WITH BOTH ACE AND BALLANTINE. DIDN'T MATTER, I JUST WANTED TO READ ANY ERB STORY I COULD FIND! THE ACE EDITIONS WERE ORIGINALLY PRINTED IN A SHORT FORMAT IN THE 1960'S, IN KEEPING WITH THEIR OVERALL SHORT FORMAT FOR ALL SCI-FI BOOKS THEY PRINTED. BALLANTINES WERE TALLER. THE COVERS ON BOTH WERE EXCELLENT. BUT ACE WENT TO TALLER EDITIONS TOO BY 1970. THIS PARTICULAR EDITION IS NICE. IT IS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO FIND THESE ERB GEMS. STILL. GREAT STORIES. A GREAT SCI-FI/FANTASY BOOK. I AM 75 YEARS YOUNG! I'VE BEEN READING SCI-FI SINCE I WAS IN 3RD GRADE IN 1957 WHEN I READ "COMMANDER BULLARD OF THE SPACE PATROL". I STILL HAVE THAT BOOK! MY FIRST ACE BOOK WAS GIVEN ME IN 3RD GRADE ALSO. IT WAS AN ACE DOUBLE "WE CLAIM THESE STARS/ BACKED WITH/THE PLANET KILLERS". THE COLORS AND COVERS WERE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO HOOK THAT 8 YEAR OLD BOY'S IMAGINATION! I WAS TRULY HOOKED FOR LIFE! I AM RETIRED NOW AND, SADLY,I AM SELLING THOUSANDS OF THOSE BOOKS AND COMICS OF MINE THAT I HAVE ACCUMULATED SINCE THE LATE 1950'S. I AM OLDER, AND THE REALITY OF OUR EXISTENCE...IS THAT IT WILL END AT SOME POINT...... AND I CAN'T TAKE MY BOOKS WITH ME IN A PHYSICAL SENSE. SO MAYBE SOME ONE OUT THERE WILL HAVE THEIR HORIZONS EXPANDED BY THIS BOOK I SO ENJOYED. DON'T GET ME WRONG THOUGH. I AM KEEPING MANY OF MY OLD ACE & BALLANTINE PAPERBACK BOOKS FROM THE '50'S & 60'S, AS WELL AS MY HUGE ERB TARZAN/JOHN CARTER/ETC COLLECTION, MY LANCER CONAN COLLECTION FROM THE 60'S, AS WELL AS MY TOM SWIFTS FROM MY YOUNG CHILDHOOD IN THE 1950'S. I STILL RE-READ MANY OF THESE. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS UP FOR SALE. IF I SELL A ERB OR CONAN ETC, THEY ARE DOUBLES FROM MY COLLECTION. I USED TO BUY THE BOOK, EVEN IF I THOUGHT I MIGHT ALREADY HAVE IT. I DIDN'T WANT TO MISS ANY OF THEM! SEE MY PHOTOS FOR CLOSER DETAILS TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. I TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES OF ALL ANGLES. OVERALL A NICE BOOK. REST ASSURED, I ALWAYS PACKAGE SECURELY, AS I WOULD WANT TO GET A BOOK THAT I BOUGHT IN THE MAIL. TRACKING INCLUDED. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING. I SHIP 1 PAPERBACK LIKE THIS FROM MY COLLECTION FOR $4.96 TOTAL. SEND ME A MESSAGE WHEN YOU ARE DONE BUYING IF YOU BUY MORE THAN 1 OF MY BOOKS. I WILL THEN SEND YOU MY COMBINED SHIPPING INVOICE WITH THE LOWER TOTAL SHIPPING. ONLY THAN WILL YOU PAY, AFTER GETTING MY INVOICE YOU REQUEST.
