Gold Medals are probably the best looking series of books on the shelf. They are extremely uniform in width, ranging from about 125 to 175 pages. Like Signets, then, the publisher was able to set pretty strict limits on its authors. While the books were not legally “abridged,” we must assume these originals were at least heavily edited. The books’ format did not change at all throughout the first 900 - 1,000 books in the run (with the exception of a very few “wrap around” covers), and so the little Gold Medal colophons line up perfectly on a row of books. Bibliophiles love a neat, orderly existence.

I would hate to have made my living as a brassiere salesman to Gold Medal models. The publisher had a staff of artists, and the cover themes tended to be as sexy as possible. Sex sells, and Gold Medal sold an awful lot of books



I actually saw this movie, not too bad.
