She Tried to Be Good: Sirens and Vamps from the Pulp Classics (Pulp Postcards)

The 1950s and early 1960s were the heyday of the Pulp novel. The covers, however, frequently promised more erotic thrills than the books were allowed to deliver in those days. Indeed the blurbs, read now, were often hilarious. But the artists were masters of the art of titillation and this book features a series of their steamy creations. They were the seductive, shameless sirens of every red-blooded American male's dreams. We were these heroines of the pulp fiction of the day displaying, through every sort of flimsy or disarrayed clothing.
