Cheers, Jimbo, I really like it.

Here's a similar one (not my copy, I wish it was), the first he did for The Popular Magazine for Street & Smith. He did a good number of covers for that title and also on New Story during the same time period.  His Popular issues are hard to find (besides the fact that most single issues from the early pulp years are tough)

He did a handful of Pulp covers also, but surprisingly few, considering how prolific he was. GOD BLESS ...

please erase if this "high-jacking" a sales thread:

I used to collect "sleaze paperbacks" but not for the cover but for the story/writing. It was tough going as most are written so poorly, however, there was one writer who was amazing: Orrie Hitt (he had some psydemums - Katy something)

Anyways, curious if anyone has read Hitt or any of these books, if your collecting gets beyond the great cover art?

 

I've read about a dozen Orrie Hitt novels (and have more in the stacks), they are definitely a cut above most of the sleaze titles. His characters are almost always regular people struggling to get one step ahead of the bills and end up doing questionable things to get there. Like almost all sleaze titles from the higher class publishers (Beacon/Monarch etc.) there is far less graphic groping than the covers suggest (and nothing like modern mainstream books like "Shades of Grey").  In order not to hijack Jim's excellent thread, if you go hang out here:

Maybe I'll post a few hm Plus it's just a fun place to hang (thumbsu

Go ahead, maybe give a recommend on title or two (reading wise).  This is an author I've never heard of - which is weird given the long frickin list at his wiki.  That sleaze life, I guess O.o

I surely doubt Jimbo minds extra eyes on his sales thread (I know there are some good books left).

This one is straight up your alley Beau (thumbsu

(Not my copy, it's buried and too many pics on my phone to dig through lol)

About the "Girls" taking to selling Magazines, and a little more :)

I read it about a year ago and recall it actually has a lot of background about the magazine selling business and a good page turner. Hitt wasn't quite at the "Gold Medal" writer level but his best could have been for sure.  I saw a credit for Frank Uppwall as the cover artist on the webs but looks like Dodd (or Nappi)  to me. Almost every Beacon from this time was reprinted from an earlier Universal related mag or digest but I don't know this one without digging into it.
