Thirteen Vintage Paperbacks


Thursday Thirteen Header

Thirteen paperbacks from my various collections.

#1 From my science fiction collection, a classic Scholastic: The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet.

#2 I’ll admit I’ve been remiss and have not read Junior Miss.

#3 Lad of Sunnybank, from my collie collection (which is growing into a general dog collection, but then collections are like packs, so the more the merrier).

#4 Fury and the White Mare, a throw-back to my childhood television days and part of my horse collection.

#5-6 Dating, ever confusing, requires books: Boy Dates Girl, and Betty Cornell’s All About Boys. Funny that I feel no further understanding from having read them… or any of the others in this collection. But then lack of understanding didn’t stop me from marrying one either.

Boy Dates Girl

Betty Cornell's All Abount Boys

#7-9 Three books which explore and exploit career perks your guidance counselor never told you about: Super-Jet Girls, Semi-Tough, and If It Moves, Kiss It.

If It Moves, Kiss It

#10 If the dating rules confuse, or if you’ve previously had a career in air travel or medicine, just say “Good Is For Angels,” and remember that motto, “a little sin – a lot of love.”

Good is for Angels

#11 And if you follow that motto, you’re likely headed for the Valley of the Dolls. (I preferred Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, myself.)

#12 Ode to Billy Joe — yes, the Billy Joe McAllister who jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge. Not read yet because I fear nothing can live up to the song.

#13 And based on all this, it’s no wonder that I need Zolar’s Occult Dream Book.
