Right This Way to the Exhibits

With a new academic year now starting up in the United States, this seems like an ideal time to revisit Killer Covers’ gallery of more than 80 school-related book fronts—including a couple of new ones I just added to that mix. You’ll find them all right here.

While we’re on the subject of such artistic collections … As you know, last Friday I added to this page a post showcasing 106 covers “on which women bare or prepare to bare their assets to men (and occasionally other women), either voluntarily or not, and with varying responses.” That provoked one reader to ask what other themed compilations might be found in the archives of this site.

Some of the galleries listed below (in order of publication) are larger than others, but I hope they never cease to entertain:

• Suburban Sleaze (May 12, 2009)
• Summertime Sex and Scandals
(June 18, 2009)
• Peeping Tom Covers (October 4, 2009)
• Horizontal Paperback Fronts
(October 31, 2009)
• Covers Starring Women’s (and Sometimes Men’s) Legs (March 7, 2020)
• A Treasury of Blondes (June 12, 2010)
• Books with “Kiss” in Their Title (February 14, 2012)
• Deadly Beds (April 19, 2014)
• Nymphs and Nymphos Aplenty (May 19, 2014)
• Bodies in Bathtubs (May 11, 2015)
• Wantons on the Loose (June 8, 2015)
• French Fronts for Bastille Day (July 14, 2015)
• Vixens! Yes, Vixens! (December 23, 2015)
• Brass Beds (May 3, 2016)
• Red-Headed Sinners (May 12, 2016)
• Swamp Treats (January 25, 2017)
• Books with “Business” in Their Title (June 21, 2017)

In a perfect world, I would put together many more of these colorful collections for my Killer Covers blog. I have no shortage of ideas, believe me, but not enough spare time to do the work. I guess we’ll just all have to be patient, and wait.
