BTW, you can take these beautiful old covers & their quirky cover copy and get them blown up into gorgeous wall posters for offices & the like. Great wall art! I have a 1935 (35 cents) Bantam Books of Steinbeck "Of Mice & Men" with cover copy that read: "A strong, beautiful novel of the deep love between two lonely men and the wanton woman who came between them." Which is not exactly the story inside. If you have an old Bantam catalog, the issue number is A1329. And it's mostly canary yellow!!!

On FB it looked like a novel cover
but now, after closer inspection of the cover,
this book is a bunch of quickies.

Happy Thursday

The (back) cover copy is one of the main reasons I started doing this. The front covers themselves are great, too, of course.
