Body Language - Pan book cover

Do they still use cheesecake to push paperbacks? I don't think so - all the paperback covers I see today are 90 percent the author's name, a smaller title, and an itty bitty semblance of an illustration.  Well, before I launch into a long and vitriolic speach about the glory days of the paperback, let's get on with the miniskirts.  I present to you a small gallery of vintage paperbacks featuring the mini - most images are from Flickr, so click on the image to be directed to the image page and view full size. Enjoy!
