Keira, I love those book covers! What a blast from the past. There used to be a restaurant in my city decorated with cover art from 1960s Harlequin romances. The artist lived here and knew the restaurant owner. When the restaurant underwent major remodeling, though, the covers disappeared. I thought that was sad.
Looking forward to seeing you in DC!
Nancy, so good to hear from you. I love these old M&B and Harl covers. They're colorful, silly, funny, but always bring a stab of nostalgia. These are the only ones I've been able to collect. Hope to get more when I visit India again this December. (Don't want to think what my mother-in-law will have to say though.)
Thrilled to be seeing you and the other Banditas in DC soon.
