Pictorial wrappers, 11 14/" x 8 1/2", 72 pp. Very remarkable condition for a softcover pulp of the era, clean and bright despite it's white cover, and with very little spine wear.

A very scarce and iconic issue from the pin-up pulp world of the 1930's, the covers of which, when executed by the likes of George Quintana, Enoch Bolles and Earle Bergey, are now referred to as "Good Girl" art.

Contents are mostly Hollywood studio-produced photos of stars, anchored by those of fetching female stars. Plenty of rumor-mill type text as well, and a few short blurb-reviews of films. Quippy and/or light-hearted editor-inserted captions accompany the photos, mostly cinematic stills. A rare genre classic for both cover and content. - G. Quintana, George [Cover] (illustrator).…
