This edition of this book was originally published in 1960, with a Howell Dodd cover. I prefer the original title, Harlot In Her Heart.

This cover is from 1961. Payment in Sin is one of those paperbacks that would be republished with several different covers over the course of the 60s. At last count, I had found five other covers for Payment in Sin but I believe this is the first one. The artist is unknown.

Artist Unknown

This is from May of 1937. Unfortunately, the identity of the artist who panted Jean Harlow and Robert Taylor is not known. I wonder what the Shirley Temple birthday party prize was.

There are several editions of this paperback, because I guess “those college beauty contests” never ceased to be shocking. The cover above is from the 1964 edition and was done by Robert Maguire.

This is from 1939. I don’t care how violent it may be or how many famous pirates might be hanging around, the beach sounds pretty nice right now.

This George Quintana cover is from 1935. I’m sharing it today because today is also the start of the Winter Olympics. USA! USA! USA!

Artwork of the Day: Snowslide (by Griffith Foxley)

Posted on February 3, 2022 by Dazzling Erin

This is from 1950 and I really hope that it’s not a story about what’s about to happen down here over the next few days. It’s supposed to snow today. Last year, it snowed at this time and there were people who had to go days without power. That was not a fun snowslide.

This cover was done by Griffith Foxley.

This is from 1952 and illustrates the danger that comes from listening to vinyl records in an unsupervised environment.

It’s been nearly a year since the Texas snow storm of 2021. When I took this picture it was below 0 degrees outside, the wind was blowing, and the power would only stay on for an hour or two a day. It was scary but, at the same time, it was also quite a sight to behold.
