Blurb: “Follow the evolution of mass market publishing-cover to cover to cover-in this delightful celebration of paperback books. From the wonderfully lurid covers of the forties and fifties (featuring "fleshy female victims of mayhem and murder") to today's specialized genre styles, this fascinating history focuses on paperback covers-the crucial factor in catching the eye and selling the book. The splendid illustrations and the odd facts, colorful anecdotes, and insider's insights make Under Cover a rare treat for pop-culture buffs, designers, collectors, and book people of all kinds.”
