In other news, A Journey Round My Skull has tracked down a copy of the Lynd Ward-illustrated Beowulf (for only $6!) which I discussed here. Go over there and be impressed.
Finally, I must wonder aloud if the people who Googled their way here looking for "erotic wet cement stories", "pubic stock photos" or the deeply mysterious "nifty loincloth story boy" found what they were looking for.

the status seekers is just great. Love those CBS eyes...
I was dead certain it was a Romek Marber cover at first, and even said so before (luckily before hitting PUBLISH) checking and finding otherwise. A perfect bit of relatively simple, effective illustration.
"Anarchism" and "Human Identity" are amazing. I'm going to have to come to this site after every trip to Barnes & Noble, where, as my wife can tell you, all I do is complain about how ugly books are.
Thanks for the link to "Pop Sensation,"

My pleasure, Rex: I've been reduced to helpless tears of laughter by your blog while at work on several occasions.
I've just looked at the website. I particularly liked the 'Recorded Jazz - a Critical Guide' by Brian Rust.
Those Pelican covers had far more wit than anything around today. I blame the grey people (not the extra-terrestrials who do horrible things to your genitals) who have changed the culture of publishing from an art into a science.
