I find the cover sordid, sleazy, squalid and generally revolting ... You ought to try reading it. |

I find the cover sordid, sleazy, squalid and generally revolting, like those Confessions movies. How men are titillated by it I don't know. No comparison with the bland, painfully artless and conceptless crap on contemporary books. For a photo cover this is well done. |

No comparison with the bland, painfully artless and conceptless crap on contemporary books. For a photo cover this is well done. I don't find it appealing, it objectifies the woman. There is no soul in it. You don't see her face. But mainly, due to the colours, it just gives off a seedy atmosphere, you see this a lot in 1970s photographs. I find certain things from the 1970s particularly, have a grim and seedy feel to them. It was a time of inner city decay and areas in London and New York just became sex and drug zones, as people fled to the suburbs; even the choice of colours of clothes and decoration fed into it, like browns. There are some American films that show New York particularly as a place of nightmares for many. There were constant fires there, and the city nearly went bankrupt. Even the British '70s comedies are grim, and populated by a cast of sideshow grotesques. Modern book covers are indeed terrible (thinking of Wordsworth again). Sometimes they don't even include them with an etext, I often feel cheated. |

Very sad news that another of the '66 heroes has passed away. Roger Hunt was a prolific goalscorer for Liverpool and had 18 goals to his credit in 34 appearances for England, including 3 in the '66 World Cup, showing just how important he was to the team. RIP.
