*Girls’ Picture Libraries: The gimmick of Fleetway’s Famous Romance Library was that it adapted romance novels by famous authors of the time, such as Ruby M Ayers, Sara Seale, Patricia Robins, Faith Baldwin and many more (hey, even I’ve heard of some of these!). With beautiful painted covers and gorgeous interior art, these really are a treat! No one’s quite sure how many issues this series ran to from the late 1950s to the late 1960s, but we have several dozen them in this week, from #1 through to #171. They’re really nice copies with virtually no wear, sharp corners and white pages; the only problem is that they suffer from rusty staple syndrome, which in many cases has edged into the interiors. We have therefore graded them relatively low, and the grade reflects the degree of rust rather than any other wear. You can get an idea of the rust from the images of #1-3 shown here, which are examples of how bad it gets; many are nicer.
