Wonderfuly Written Worlds

2011-10-13T07:57:00.000-07:00

Yes, I meant "worlds", not "words". For me, a wonderfully written world goes a long way toward luring me into a book, seducing me with sights and smells and sounds and cultural differences.

I am always amazed by how wearable many of the fashions of "Mad Mad Modes for Moderns" tend to look. Though this Jay Scott Pike edition from Heart Throbs #111 (December 1966/January 1967) asks readers if they are "prepared to super-swing to the maddening pace of the sizzling sixties?" I would be more than happy to wear any of these ensembles in the 21st century!It isn't every day that a romance
