Paperback 621: Jazz Me Baby / Karl Kelly (France F29)

Paperback 621: France F29 (PBO, 1962)

Title: Jazz Me Baby
Author: Karl Kelly
Cover artist: [photo cover]

From The Doug Peterson Collection (recent addition)

France29

Best things about this cover:
  • Fold-out! And what a reveal! Darkly-crotched panties and bunched-up hosiery. This photo screams "klass!" Also, "model needs to eat / pay rent."
  • "Here, lie on these sad, cold little metallic pillows. Perfect. It's like you're the giant in the harem. Le Sexy!"
  • I really hate that the title doesn't have the comma where it belongs. Sincerely.
  • Favorite word on this cover: "American" — "Following the huge of success of 'Jazz Me Baby' overseas ..."
  • Maybe if you say "routine" again the description will ironically sound less routine.
  • Karl Kelly needs a better agent. His name's nowhere to be found on the cover. And it's not like they don't have enough real estate.

Best things about this back cover:
  • I am curious YELLOW!
  • "in his off-hours, or even during his working hours OMG WHY DO THESE WORDS EXIST?!"
  • "The inner yearning burning" is a phrase you should use to describe all your amorous urges. Pretty please.
  • "Pneumatic!" Wait, is that where you operate her by a system of pulleys? Or ... wait, no, that's where you can't slam her because of her compressed-air system. Practical!

I strode masterfully (strode? hell, dad, I wobbled!) to the bed room, not even looking around to see if she was following me.

"STRODE? HELL, DAD, I WOBBLED!" is the new "Looks like you've been behind the barn!"
