The 1960s and 1970s witnessed upheavals in American culture, an explosion of new ideas in cinema; a renaissance in American abstract painting, and, yes, lots of semi-salacious, suggestive, and down right kitschy 'Nurse Paperbacks' which boasted covers which were eye-catching and enticing. This book chronicles these covers and presents the first pictorial history of classic 'nurse' paperback covers and features an in-depth essay about the genre and profiles many of the artists involved in creating the artwork for these tomes. Each cover, many reproduced from the original paintings, show the tongue in check humor employed in the creation these pop-culturally iconic covers.

'The arrival of two Agents of Summer has created a political nightmare, and the Agents themselves have ultimately suffered the consequences. Thanks to rumors that they are cursed by the gods, Ruri and Ayame were forced to break off their engagements when a wolf appeared on Mount Ryugu. Not to be deterred, they have arrived on the sacred mountain to meet the Archer of Twilight and solve the mystery themselves-but the shadows around the wolf go deeper than they know. Meanwhile, the conflict among the conservative and progressive factions within the Towns rages on, and various ulterior motives are at play. Those involved in the unrest are all gathering in one place: Ruri's fiance Raicho Kimikage, Ayame's fiance Renri Rouo, and the Agents of the Four Seasons themselves. When the storm finally calms, will the twins be with their loves, or torn apart forever?' (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror
