Yes, I've been known to buy a book by its lurid cover. :)<br /><br />I love these old covers, love the graphics. Different definitions of 'good and bad' for different times. Or, I should say: the appearance of what good or bad.<br /><br />Thanks for the links.<br />Is the one of the Bookman book a real cover? It almost looks like a parody. Ha!Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-88611727020213564502011-02-02T18:28:01.195-05:002011-02-02T18:28:01.195-05:00And a good book beneath the cover.
As for the bere...And a good book beneath the cover.<br />As for the beret, I think it serves the same function as a saint's attribute, though that dame ain't no saint.<br /><br />The beret, and its association with the French (and we <i>know</i> how oversexed <i>they</i> are!) and as an essential component of the <i>apache</i> dancer's costume (along with tight top, tighter skirt, fishnet stockings)--think a cleaned up version of Cyd Charisse and co. in the "Slaughter on 10th Avenue" number in "The Bandwagon."<br /><br />As for the guy in the blazer... I think the fact he is not wearing a tie and that his shirt is unbuttoned at the top is enough to tell us that he is a suitable libertine partner for the blonde.<br /><br />I, too, love these covers and have been known to buy some even when I have no idea of the quality of the contents.<br /><br />J. Kingston Pierce (of the Rap Sheet blog) has another blog: <a href="http://killercoversoftheweek.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Killer Cover of the Week</a> for more great old covers.<br /><br />But when it comes to great old lurid covers + a love of books, I think this one is <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3773/3428/1600/worth1.2.jpg" rel="nofollow"> my all time fave</a>.Elisabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-32550172499623031742011-01-04T10:55:03.565-05:002011-01-04T10:55:03.565-05:00Oh yes, Ryan, calendars are a great source of art ...Oh yes, Ryan, calendars are a great source of art for framing.

I even have one image framed and hanging on my wall, it's called "Coffin for a Cutie".
