I got off early one day from the old scrap yard and found myself in a junk shop going through the stacks of debris. Always a good hunt and the drunk owner usually gave the stuff away, that is if you were brave enough to get past the pack of barking dogs... I still remember him saying "ahhh howabout 25 cents for that." As fate would have it, or the keen eye on me, I noticed a box hidden under piles of stinkin' old velvet curtains. I held my breath as I pulled the box out and clouds of dust, dog fur, and maiden hair puffed up around the curtains. It was worth it!What I found in the box was an amazing stack of Carter Brown novels as well as many others, in top shape. What was even more amazing about this find was the breathtaking cover art that graced these pulp pocket gems. One of the store dogs came chasing a ball and knocked me flat as I drooled over my find. I carefully sorted the books and put them back in the box and wandered up the aisle to find out how much the stinky man in the jean jacket was gonna charge me for these babies. He looked at them and asked the one question I hate to be asked.... "Make me an offer chappy." Sometimes if you make this dude an offer he finds offensive (too little) he will grab the books out of your hand and tell you they aren't for sale. I had to offer him lots today because I had to have these books. I emptied my pocket and came up with near ten bucks and he took it. I scurried home and added these amazing books to the Clodbooks room. Now one thing that caught my eye about the covers was the way this artist presented his models backs. I found them compelling. This is something I had not noticed before in the stacks of paperbacks that litter my basement. I researched the artist and he goes by the name of Robert McGinnis. Robert is responsible for tons of paperback covers and paintings, and has a couple books on his work availiable. So I hope you enjoy this little gallery of womens backs by the incredible paperback artist Robert McGinnis.
