Cool covers from motor racing novels
Now for something completely different... I have this thing for kitsch type paperback art covers from the 1950s and 60s. Someone recently loaded up a version of Jon Cleary's classic motor racing novel "The Green Helmet". Heres a couple more if I can suss out how to load 'em[IMG][img=http://s8.postimage.org/cc39rwryp/Back_Straight_by_Frank_O_Hara_1963.jpg][/IMG][IMG]http://s8.postimage.org/cc39rwryp/Ba..._Hara_1963.jpg[/IMG]
"The Racer" by Hans Ruesch
[IMG]http://s17.postimage.org/enxj85si3/T...uesch_1957.jpg[/IMG]This paperback was published in 1957 by Arrow Books and has a classic crash and burn scene that was pretty accurate for open wheeler racing in the 1950's. Lurid sensational art was the style of the times[IMG][img=http://s17.postimage.org/enxj85si3/The_Racer_by_Han_Ruesch_1957.jpg][/IMG]
"Spin out" by Frank O'Hara, Horowitz Books, 1963
Another title by Frank O'Hara, published by Horowitz Books in Australia. These are the only two I have seen by him, does anyone else know if there are any more?[IMG]http://s17.postimage.org/sygab4nm3/S..._Hara_1963.jpg[/IMG]
