Title: Operation: SEX
Author: Kimberly Kemp
Cover artist: Paul Rader
Yours for: $30
Best things about this cover:
- Operation: LACK OF IMAGINATION
- I have an alternative title for this book: Naughty Pine.
- This cover manages to be both deeply disturbing and super hot. Indirect evidence of nudity = very effective.
- You have to love the absurdity of the pull-down window shade in the foreground—it's architecturally impossible, of course, but does a cool job of implicating us in the voyeurism.
Best things about this back cover:
- Whoa. Ruby? Tell me more about Ruby. The cover said nothing about Ruby.
- "Anything!"
- Talk about burying the lede—how is the front cover not more lesbianified? I mean, I love the cover, but if lesbian pulp has taught me anything (and it Has), it's that when your book has lesbian sex in it, some visual/textual indication of that goes on the cover. No beating around the bush. As it were.
