Okay, by now you've probably seen that LiveJournal link of cover scans from lurid smut novels of the 50's and 60's that's been making the 'blog rounds. They're great images, no question.

What's not so great is that, as often happens on the InterWeb, someone has rounded up a bunch of images and posted them without a shred of attribution, thus forcing me to go a-Googling for the original sources. Many appear to have been lifted from the Vintage Paperbacks website, check out their amazing galleries here. Strange Sisters is also a great resource for this kind of stuff, and these two monster galleries of sleazy paperback covers are the absolute shiznit. Enjoy.
