| Here, gathered together for your
enjoyment, are all the images in the BookScans database pertaining some
favorite authors ... okay, okay ... MY favorite authors. Maybe they're
yours, too.
The lists are not complete. The
database is still missing some key issues, but I think you'll enjoy what's
here. Also, please keep in mind that the database does not go beyond the
1970's. Most of the authors here are obviously still in print.
The "LiPs & DiDs" folder shows
paperback and pulp covers featuring Ladies in Peril & Damsels in
Distress.
"THE Gothic Cover" almost
qualifies for LiPs & DiDs, but not quite. It is, in fact, one of
the oddest artistic phenomenon illustrated on the website.
"Lesbiana" is an immensely
popular genre for vintage paperback collectors.
"MAD," of course, contains
books featuring craziness from MAD Magazine, dating back to 1954.
Each of these "Genre Group" links
will lead you to another page, which will explain the topic and provide a
portal to the covers.
And ... THE RAREST GENRE. Can YOU
guess what it is?
(It makes sense
if you think about it.)
