by Peter Driben

Taschen Biblioteca Univesalis, produced in Cologne, printed in China. 2015. Hardcover in dust jacket. Small; quarto-sized. Purple boards with gold lettering. 544 pages. Full color illustrations throughout. Printed in both English and German.

The vast majority of the book is taken up with either full-page cover reproductions or multi-picture B&W spreads of Driben's photos of pin-up girls, which include some of his more-famous models, such as Betty Page.

But Driben is most noted for his covers from magazines such as Wink, Eyeful, Titter, Beauty Parade, Whisper, Flirt, and others. There are hundreds of those covers here.
