Pulp paintings and movie stills

Just in:
Pulp Art, Original Cover Paintings for the Great  American Pulp Magazines, by Robert Lesser
     182 over-sized pages of guns, monsters, and dames
     This is the dramatic art work from those magazines of the 30s and 40s.
     And is it dramatic, but surprisingly without hardly any blood.
     ( Those were the days.)
      It can be yours for only $5. Look for it in the new non-fiction section.

Still Life, edited by Diane Keaton
      These 62  formerly unpublished promotional color still photographs from the movies of the 40s through to the 70s are beautiful, strange and creepy.  An Diane Keaton says in the intro, "There's something eerie about trying to recreate life with stuffed animals displayed in nice boxes."  The people are real, but they don't look it.  This book with the strange photos can be yours for $5. It too is in the new non-fiction section
