Description: VENUS OF LESBOS 1961 STEVE BELL - BONFILS ART VINTAGE GAY PULP NOVEL -VERY NICE RARE!! I am reading that this book was Robert BONFILS very first pulp novel cover art!! This book doesn’t pop up very often!!! DO NOT SEND ME OFFERS This copy is a nice condition. It does have minor wear on the sides of the spine and on the edges and corners of the cover. Soft bends on front cover….still very flat and fully intact. appears to have had a tape pull on the spine and I can’t tell if it has been color touched or if it’s just the paper but it’s minimal. Has some cosmetic wear, but past that it is still very, very nice and an awesome collectible! I have thousands of vintage GAY PULP PAPERBACK BOOKS in my home inventory. Just ask. Guys, I am paying Ebay 25% in fees to make sure that these books are available and represented on here. The last three years have been very difficult with them limiting sellers and essentially discriminating against this niche being shown and available on here. It is my mission to make sure that these books continue to be Represented and available to document our cultural history and its path. As we all know as collectors of these rare paperback novels, eBay has started restricting the sales of them starting August of 2022. Many of us have had our accounts restricted for unreasonable reasons as a result. I have been a collector of these books myself for over 30 years and love, getting rare and unusual copies to the people who love them and collect them. I have an adjacent account and I have had to stop selling the majority of my books on that account because it has hurt me financially. I have created this account specifically for these types of books and I am trying to abide by eBay rules as much as possible to continue offering. What is allowable from what I have. It is my hope that eventually I will create an independent website to sell the items that eBay will no longer allow as a means for the community to find collectibles that they like and I will donate a percentage back to LGBTQ causes. Until that happens? Here I am. I sell two collectors. I am not a flea market or yard sale. Please do not treat me like one. I list the books based on condition, rarity, and how much I personally have invested in the book. DO NOT SEND ME OFFERS. READ THAT AGAIN. Guys, if I wanted to be a flea market, I would be set up with a table somewhere. I asked for the respect and understanding that that is not how I do business. I do not need to know how much you think a book should be listed at, or anything else. It’s simple, mutual respect. If I want to price a book for less? I will do that when I’m ready. So the best thing to do is to add any items that you’re interested in to your watchlist and as a price reduction is made you will be notified of that. I am the caregiver to two people and I ask for this consideration in advance and I appreciate people understanding and not filling my message box up with things I’m not open to. If you ran a business? You would run it the way that you thought you should, and the same goes for me. I appreciate you understanding. I literally have thousands of books and I offer them as I list them. Please check back or favorite this selling account as it is a new account and it’s only allowing me to list up to 200 items at a time right now until it grows. My other account has been growing for 15 years but I can no longer sacrifice my income over a restriction that may come out of the blue for no reason. This is what has been going on since August 2022. I’m not here looking to be a bad seller or break rules, I’m here to offer items that I think should be able to be allowed at eBay and get them to the people that I know would like to have them. And I can’t have my other account be impacted ALL BOOKS ARE AND WILL BE IN NICE CONDITION UNLESS NOTED. I DON’T EVEN LIKE TO PURCHASE BOOKS UNLESS THEY ARE NICE BUT EXCEPTIONS HAPPEN. If you have any questions regarding an item, I will be more than happy to try to answer them for you. Otherwise, you are understanding that you are getting the book shown in the photos of the listing. All books will be intact and any major flaws if there are any WILL BE LISTED. It is your responsibility to ask questions that may be other concern you BEFORE you transact with me. I’ve been doing this for a long time and I do not accept returns and I do not do this “not as described/not as listed”’game some buyers like to play. Your book will be inspected, come in a cello protector, surrounded by a cardboard protector, and if need be, will be insured to full value. Again NO RETURNS. I’ve been doing this for 15 years and pride myself on being honest and ethical, and I ask that of my customers in return. I appreciate your understanding, your kindness, and support more than you know. It means the world to me. Thank you for looking!
