Books Update: Bring On The Bad Girls
*Books About Books: If I may paraphrase Stan Lee with that headline, some choice examples of bad girl art in this esoteric category this week. Headlining is Peter Driben, master of 1950s pin-up art, with a thick tome of his famous magazine covers (plus interiors from the said magazines), then a volume from pulp historian Gary Lovisi, featuring his selections of covers from paperbacks whose female leads were anxious to undress, rounded off with two postcard book collections of similar subjects.
