Greatsuebob, Thanks for the comments - much appreciated. Yes the covers are a lot of fun. Of course you should see what they look like in person - 75 years old and full of rips, tears, water stains, vermin munching, etc. So each goes under the Photoshop knife for a nip and tuck - trying to make them a bit more like how they might have appeared when you went down to the newsstand to pick up a copy.

stories enticing - Clara Bow shops
for a baby, Olive Borden repents
her folly - I want to read those stories!!!!
