I don't normally post very often over weekends, what with my incredibly amazing social calendar of arranging my garden gnomes, knitting scarves for my glass unicorns and drinking alone on my porch while adding my newest scratch-and-sniff stickers to the album (jealous?), but I wanted to share this before I forgot to tell you or passed out. (I'm kidding, people!
GOSH. Like I would forget to tell you.)
Because
I love vintage 50's pulp fiction paperbacks and I know
you nerds like them too, you might dig this cardinal edition paperback of
The Blackboard Jungle I found on Etsy, original, from 1955! Oh, those nutty juvenile delinquents with their devil's music and tight slacks.
Now if you'll excuse me, this pitcher of margaritas won't drink itself.

Kim: You've found my weakness, you sly one. I love 1950's atomic age book covers and illustration. A real classic here. Looks like that young student in the red dress is about to give our teacher with the bow tie an education he won't soon forget. Now, I insist, back to those margaritas. -- Mykal

Hi, Mykal! Aren't these old covers just too cool? (They beat Fabio-dripping Danielle Steele covers any day!)
ReplyDeleteKim: They are indeed too cool. I am going to scan one now and then over at my place in my Atomic Age Art Gallery sidebar (thanks for coming on board, BTW!).
ReplyDeleteOh, excellent! It'll look awesome over at your place- which I need to come over and do a little posting on myself! Thank YOU for coming on board! You rock.
