#photoOfTheDay is a bad photo (with many reflections I couldn't control) of the original artwork for "Sin Preferred" by legendary pulp artist Rudy Nappi. It's a lovely painting and I'd love to have it, but the asking price is $4500 because highly collectible. 😬

Seen at Robert's Bookshop in Lincoln City, Oregon, which is probably my favorite used bookstore.

Coincidentally I took these photos earlier this week at a friend's bookshop (that has a lot of pulp scifi):

Photo of the cover of a pulp fantasy scifi book called "Captives of the Savage Empire" by Jean Lorrah.  It is a painting of a white woman (they're always white) in flowy white dress and black leather chaps (?) riding a white horse, casting some sort of lightning spell that manifests a dildo made out of light from her hands.  A man, wearing a black velvet cape, seems stuck in a bog and is grasping onto the dildo of light for dear life.  He doesn't look happy about the situation.
Photo of the cover of a pulp science fiction book titled "Flesh and Silver" by Stephen L. Burns, with the byline "The touch of a healer— with the hands of a machine..."  The cover art is of silver hands and forearms crossed in front of a metal disk, fingers splayed.  With weird abstarct shapes and a spiral galaxy that is about to experience the touch of a healer with the hands of a machine.
