I am going to auction off a large part of my vintage paperback holdings in order to clear some space and focus my collecting better - tune in every week to see different stuff at reasonable starting bids.
Dream Club Albert L. Quandt Original Novels 726 Rare Classic GGA cover Drug JD. A superior copy for the discerning collector.
Rare classic GGA drug/ hypodermic needle cover. A cornerstone of any respectable JD paperback collection.
Originally published as "Beyond Des...ire" This second printing is very desirable with the cooler sounding title.
VG+/Fine, solid binding. Very Strong colors. The book appears very lightly read and the binding is straight and intact with some light edgewear. NO cover creasing to speak of and only light edgewear. Tight staples. Cream pages are very supple. Overall a beautiful presenting copy of a scarce early vintage Drug Juvenile Delinquent digest. You would be hard put to find a better copy.
Unending Glory... Delirious Fantasy...Fabulous Power... Joy for one and all... or so they said... and at a price. That was the fateful, illusory stock-in-trade of the Dream Club. Behind its secret door, they would tell you, you could buy the fulfillment of every hope, the taste of every delight, the thrill of infinite power. But it could only be for an hour, a day... and the price was damnation. And once you've passed through its door, you were lost... lost to love, to reality, to the world of the living.
This is the story of a girl who passed through that door, in search of something she could not name, but wanted deeply. It is also the story of how she struggled back to the light on the other side of the door...
"Albert L. Quandt produced some of the 1950's most breathless, exploitation sleaze often masquerading as trenchant social commentary yet biographical information and critical assessment of his oeuvre is incredibly sparse. I'm saying I can provide no insights into what led him to wallow in the slimelight so diligently. I don't know if he was an alarmist, a moral scold or just scribbled about what floated his boat."
