It's Come To That

As a science-fiction buff, bibliophile and amateur antiquarian, I'm only too aware that back in der Tag,* readers with any sense at all would rip off the covers of pulps like Amazing, Weird Tales and Air War after buying them, lest folks think they actually read such lurid trash. Even though they did.

Hard on the heels of my wimmen's-mag-cover reference to The Sharpshooter comes Tam's trenchant analysis of the current issue of Cosmo.

Ew. Ready, gals? R-r-r-rip! That's so not coffee-table material!
