Like the old Harlequins, I find the colour variations on Derby's back covers pleasing to the eye. Did they match the spines?
ReplyDeleteMust say Bedroom for Three raised a smile. I assume that it's much less risqué than title and cover copy imply.
Bunny Peeler? Sheesh.
Yes - the spines and back cover design are the same colour.
ReplyDeleteTrading places with a nurse? Hope her playboy patient didn't have anything serious. As with all Phoenix Press romances the novel falls short of the blurb marketing. Much like marketing today for about any product you can find.
