This is from 1959. The title (or the new title since it used to be called No Letters From The Dead) is a little judgmental but that’s true of a lot of pulp paperbacks. The cover was done by Jim Bentley.

This is from 1953 and I guess it’s about a dangerous soda salesman. The cover is by the prolific Lou Marchetti.

This cover, featuring two people packing in a hurry, is from 1962. Barye Phillips is one of my favorite pulp artists. His work has been featured many times in the past on this site and will be featured many times in the future!

This is from 1952 and the artwork was done by Warren King. She may have the morals of an alley cat but that is a pretty dress. Wanton country girls were a popular subject for pulp paperbacks.

This is from 1960 and it was published by Kozy Books, one of the leading “adult” publishers of the time. I really like this cover so it’s unfortunate that the identity of the artist is not known.
