I was wondering if anyone knew a little about the
"still life" photgraph cover art for paperbacks that was so
popular in th 1970s and 1980s - I'm refering to the cover art
that featured a collection of objects found or used in the
novel.
This site:
http://www.artofjamesbond.com/paperbacks2.htm
talks a little about, and shows, some of the James Bond
series, that used them, but I was wondering if there was some
hardboiled, crime, noir, or P.I. novels with these kinds of
covers?
Anybody know who started the trend (publisher, artist, etc.),
why it stopped or a good source for the history of that style
of cover?
Just curious.
