Author Martin Salisbury traces the evolution of the book jacket from its functional origins as a plain dust protector for expensively bound books to its elaboration as an artistic device to catch the eye of browsing book buyers. The book jackets reproduced here reflect the changing visual styles and motifs of the passing century, beginning with the Art Deco period and continuing through Modernism, the playful Thirties, the pre- and postwar Neo-Romantics, the new consumerism and realist subject matter of the Fifties, and the Pop Art of the Sixties.

Noir has its roots in the hardboiled detective fiction of the likes of Hammett and Chandler; the works of these authors were among the wave of post-WWII Hollywood films that in 1946 were, separately, tagged 'film noir' by French cineastes Nino Frank and Jean-Pierre Chartier. Dark storytelling gained traction on the small screen, with some key differences from film. In TV Noir, noted film and television historian Allen Glover has written the first complete study of the subject, surveying the TV programming that evolved from the film noir heyday.
