1 Caldwell, Erskine Episode in Palmetto
Canada. Signet (NAL) Book. 1960 #5-1598. Second Signet (NAL) Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. Water Touched. 
      $.35 is the original price. 144 pages. Very tight binding. Red colour to the edging. A double, triangular wrinkle/crease is at the top, right corner (extending inward 2" and 2 1/2"). There are 5 small indents/light creases at the Spine side and the Cover appears a bit spotty.
Spine: A couple of fine line creases are at the middle, from book opening, plus there are some fine wrinkles, from water.
Back Cover: A small bit of colour is missing at the right edge (about 1" deep, here-and-there), but it's nothing serious. The Cover looks a bit scuffed/spotty.
In General: Page 105 has a 1/8" upper right corner crease and this mark continues for a few pages after it. There are a couple of ballpoint lines on the inside of the Front Cover. There's a 1/4" discoloured spot on the bottom coloured edge, beside the Spine.
Story: A Teacher is too good-looking for her own good and has all the town's Males panting after her. 002509

2 Caldwell, Erskine In Search of Bisco
U.S. Pocket Books, Inc. 1966 #75117. First Pocket Books Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Fine Plus, to Near Mint. 
      #75117. February, 1966. $.75 is the original price. 184 pages, plus book advertising at the back of the book. Tight binding. Mostly very light beige paper. Red colour on the edging.
Front Cover: A manufacturing line runs down the book close to the Spine side. A couple of very small spots of edge wear are at the bottom edge and a few very faint scratches, here-and-there, but it's really nothing at all.
Back Cover: About a dozen random very small dot-like indents. I haven't got a clue as to what could be the cause.
Story: Caldwell took a trip through the Southern U.S. in the mid-1960's to locate a person, noting conditions vis-à-vis white/black relations as he travelled and he didn't like much of what he saw going on. Can't say that I blame him. 002892

3 Caldwell, Erskine Love and Money
Canada/U.S. Signet (NAL) Book. 1966 #D 2950. Second Signet (NAL) Can.Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Good Minus. Water Touched. 
      July, 1966. $.50 is the original price. 149 pages, plus book advertising at the back of the book. Tight binding. Washed-out pinkish colour on the edging.
Front Cover: A couple of places where another Cover still remains.
Spine: A line crease, from book opening, plus a bit of small creasing, from water.
Back Cover: I made a new Cover as the old one was hopelessly stuck to another one.
In General: The pages have about a 1/4" of colour bleed at their edges, plus the same amount of rolling. The book's slightly stiff, but it's not too bad. The Cover remnants can probably be removed with patience, and care, but I haven't got the time to do it. I removed what I could in the time I had. Some pages have small corner creases at the bottom, right. There's a small mark, from page 11-27 where a previous owner had used a hairpin as a book mark.
Story: A writer experiences romantic love which, until then, he'd only written about in his novels. 002578
