Ah, the nostalgia of 50 and 75 cent paperbacks. Even the porn was cheap in those days ...
Yeah, but isn't 75 cents, like, a million dollars in 2011 currency. I love the cover art. Nowadays even porn is commoditized to the point where it seems that nobody is going the extra step to at least approximate art.

BTW, I noticed that they did reuse the cover art, in some cases making small modifications.

This would be a cool display for an art show.

edit: Found one on Amazon called Beebo Brinker. 50 cents in 1962. $10.36 new in 2011 The 1962 cover art is better. She's literally standing on the corner of gay street.
