Today in pulp I'm looking at Penguin Books from 1966. Why? Because that's the year they ditched the Marber Grid and brought in Alan Aldridge as art director to spice up their fiction covers!

Let's see how he did...
Boswell's #London Journal: 1762-1763, edited by Frederick A Pottle. Penguin Books, 1966. Cover by Alan Aldridge.
Kiss Kiss, by Roald Dahl. Penguin Books, 1966. Art by Alan Aldridge.
Sleepwalkers, by David Karp. Penguin Books, 1966. I really like this as a cover!
Jubb, by Keith Waterhouse. Penguin Books, 1966. Richard Heimann's photography catches the 60s mood...
Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler. Penguin Books, 1966. Another favourite of mine...
The Penguin John Lennon (1966). Cover by Alan Aldridge.
Island, by Aldous Huxley. Penguin, 1966. Cover by Ross Cramer.
Maigret's Special Murder, by Georges Simeon. Penguin Books, 1966. Cover by Karl Ferris.
A Kind Of Loving, by Stan Barstow. Penguin Books, 1966.
Gunner Cade, by Cyril Judd. Penguin 1966. Cover by Ian Yeoman.
The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, by Robert A Heinlein. Penguin, 1966. Cover by Alan Aldridge.
Personally I'm a fan of Alan Aldridge's work at Penguin, though that does put me into a minority! De gustibus non disputandum est, as they say.

More covers another day...
