    Did anyone notice that the cover for “Warped” is a reversed and modified version of the one for “From Other Women”? Or vice-versa, depending on which came first.

    Retronauts craving a revival of the genre could do worse than:

    Don’t ask me how this was brought to my attention.

    I was surprised to not see any of the The Beebo Brinker Chronicles or Satan Was a Lesbian.

  • Fuzzyman

    I did a little research…

    “I am a Woman” is a part of a series of books in which Beebo Brinker plays a part, if not the main one.

    Some of the books (Meg, I am a Woman, probably others) are available on Amazon as $1 Kindle titles. I’m curious to find out what these books were really like.

    Theodora Keogh, author of Meg, was the grandaughter of Teddy Roosevelt. The book is supposed to contain some autobiographical elements.

    I want to read ‘Prison Girl V Female Convict’

    …please? :)

  • marumaru

    This is probably a long shot, but…
    Does anyone have the slightest idea who the photographer responsible for the cover of “Spring Fire” might be?
    I must admit, I was smitten by this picture.

  • Kathleen the Great

    That “Lion House” cover, if it were a photo, would be much like a modern fashion editorial.
