Tagline: 'Every bookseller in town has been in her library.' Picture shows woman in low-cut top leaning on a stack of books and pulling her skirt up her thigh while a man with a cigarette watches." /></a></p>
<p>Thanks to Anne Bentley, our art curator at the Massachusetts Historical Society for this link. Helfond Book Gallery, Ltd. offers a series of <a href="http://www.heldfond.com/bibliopulp.php">images from the underbelly of the rare book world</a>, otherwise known as &#8220;bibliopulp&#8221; posters riffing on pulp fiction book covers from the mid-twentieth century. I&#8217;m personally torn between the &#8220;Bibliobimbo&#8221; (pictured above), &#8220;Rare Book Tramp&#8221; and &#8212; with a cover that would make <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Harkness">Jack Harkness</a> proud &#8212; &#8220;They Made Me a Book Collector.&#8221;</p>
<p>Happy Wednesday!</p>
