Vintage paperback office hi jinx, part II. "Swinging Secretary" (Midwood) features cover art by Paul Rader. "Office Affair" (Beacon)-- unknown cover artist. "Office Hussy" (Star Novels) features cover art by George Gross.
I like that "Office Hussy" just puts it right out there -- and who could blame that hussy, she's now part of the workforce world of "exciting men"! I have one titled "Executive Suite Girls" and it was quite a hilarious sexist read. I couldn't figure out if the book was targeted at men who would be aroused by their secretaries or stay-at-home wives who were curious about what being a working girl was really like.
I know exactly what book you're talking about. I believe it was published in the early 60's by Monarch Books out of Derby, CT. Anyway, most of those books were geared towards the male perspective, but I do know that there were some women who read them, especially the early lesbian pulps that company published.
FringePop is a showcase for uncommon and esoteric cultural artifacts. The focus is on unusual items from both popular and fringe culture, with an emphasis on subversive pieces. The items shown are from the author's personal collection, unless otherwise noted.
I am a pop culture buff and collector, who focuses on the odd, subversive, and fringe elements of Western culture. In 2005, I edited a book for Feral House called "Sin-A-Rama: Sleaze Sex Paperbacks of the Sixties." The vintage oddities in my collection include victoriana, sideshow, medical, and kitsch. I am also an amateur sewer, making clothing from vintage mod patterns.
