I think this is the magazine behind "Love Novels"

The blurb place, font and empty space on right do seem to match.

Meanwhile, in the duh department, the magazine on the small standee in the front is simply Coronet. There is a crown on the standee … crown ---> coronet. Should have figured that one much sooner -

BTW, I want to get your opinion on something, fellas...

The "Sexology" magazine in the photo I found a while back, but it was a weirdly cropped image. I matched the cropped, color picture with the title on the display without filling in the missing parts. I have been thinking of using Photoshop tools (basically just the brush tool) to colorize the missing parts, since most of the cover from the online pic is there. What do you think of that?

Just one from me for today - Sir! Vol.2 # 12 - below Wink

 

Sir! Vol.2 #12 - September 1945.jpg

September 1945-- It must've just come in! Heh. I think I mentioned this in a previous post, most titles shown are from July-August of 1945, but the very latest magazines pictured are from September. So, I figure any of those mags were just put on the shelves when that photo was taken.

Historical fact: World War II officially ended on September 2, 1945, when Japan formerly signed papers surrendering to the Allies. It's also the day my mother was born, so I tease her that her birth ended the war. I wonder what was the actual date that the Readmore display photo was taken?

I'd say go for it - you can always change it if another scan turns up and for some reason the color isn't uniform; by the way , now the 10 story love is in place it's evident that the small piece of cover in the corner is another copy of the Romance pulp in front

If you don't mind, I'll put titles even if I don't have the correct month so there is documentation of what is where (if you don't have it).

To the right of Love Short Stories is an issue of Gay Love Stories. It's the August issue, not available at philsp - http://philsp.com/mags/gay_love_stories.html

Here's a sample of the logo -

Having the logo does help figure out some placement. Magazines like the Love Book have been a real pisser of sorts, as I had found the correct title, but not the actual issue needed. Grrr!
