We too are drifting

We Too Are Drifting front cover. Two women occupy most of the visual space. One is standing on the left of the image, her back to the reader, and seen from her calves up. She has blond, short hair and is wearing a white and red-stripped male pajama top with the sleeves rolled up to her forearms. Her legs are slightly spread, shoulder-width. Her gaze is directed downward from her right shoulder toward another woman sitting behind her, a brunette with her hair tied in a bun, neck-high. She is wearing a black negligee and is sitting on her folded legs with hands together between her thighs. She seems to have her eyes closed and, like the other woman, has her face wrapped in a shadow. A beam of warm light illuminates them both partly from the right of the image.

Strange path (The)

The Strange Path front cover. Two women appear facing the reader, to the right of the image. One, a blonde with long, curly hair wearing a light-blue negligee, is sitting on a bed, legs folded under her body as she gazes at the reader with half-shut eyes and mouth slightly open. Her right-hand plays with a lock of her hair over her chest, the weight of her body on her stretched left arm. The left strap of her negligee hangs over her elbow. The other woman, a brunette with short hair, stands behind her, to the right of the image and facing the reader at a three-quarter angle towards the left. She is dressed in a blue cardigan and what seem to be black pants. Her head is upright, and her gaze is directed downward toward the blonde as she rests her right hand on the blonde's right shoulder. Her left fingers touch the blonde's left shoulder. On the wall behind them, the lights and shadows of window panes are cast, as well as their own shadows, and the light reflected seems like that of morning sunshine.

This too is love

This Too is Love front cover. A blonde sits on a white, carpeted floor, leaning on her left elbow, supported by a pile of cushions. She is barefoot, and her stilettos are seen next to the cushions along with a pack of cigarettes and an open matchbook. She wears a red, short, velvet dress with multi-row spaghetti straps. She faces the reader in a three-quarter angle towards the center-right of the image, and her knees are bent, legs and feet close together. Her left foot is raised from the heel, the toes touching her right heel. She holds a cigarette in her right hand, which arches over her right knee. Her chin rests on the back of her left hand. Her face faces the reader, but her slightly squinted eyes look toward her right, where another woman sits up from a lying position, stretched on a camel-back green sofa on the right side of her body. The woman is a brunette with hair to her nape and is dressed in a yellow blouse and brown capri pants. Her left arm is stretched over her left leg, and her torso is slightly lifted, resting on her right elbow. She looks straight at the blond with a half-smile. The scene is lit from the left, with the most light placed on the blonde.
A paperback original. This book was published as a mass-market paperback without a hardcover printing.

Who knows love?

Who Knows Love? front cover. The face and chest of a blond woman take up most of the space, to the right of the image, oriented at a three-quarter angle facing left of the reader. Her straight hair curving in beneath her right shoulder, the only one visible, and she has a quiet, yet intense expression on her face. Her head is slightly tilted downward, and her gaze is fixed on something outside the picture, lower than her head, in front of her. She seems to be wearing an orange, button-less blouse or robe, and part of her upper chest is visible. The scene is dimly lit from the top left of the image, and the left side of her face is shadowed.

Twilight girl

Twilight Girl front cover: Over a red, textured background, a bed with white sheets is placed sideways to the reader, at the bottom of the image. A pillow is placed on it, to the right of the reader. A blond woman with short, curly hair sits on the bed facing the reader, her body at a three-quarter angle facing right. Her legs are crossed under the knees and are at a diagonal angle, bare feet pointing out toward the left of the image. She wears a white slip and a white, strapless brassiere. Her right hand is placed over her chest as she leans on her left arm, which stretches out toward the pillow. Her head is slightly tilted to her right, and she looks down with a serious expression on her face. Behind the bed stands a brunette with short hair and bangs, to the far right of the image. She is wearing a black negligee and stands at a three-quarter angle facing left of the image. Her right arm is bent at the elbow; forearm placed over her stomach. Her left arm is also bent, elbow on her right hand stretched-out fingers, and a cigarette is lit in her hand, fingers bent and pointing upwards. She is looking down at the blonde with a stern expression, head raised slightly. The scene is lit from the top left, casting a shadow to the side of the bed facing the reader.

This Side of Love cover: The faces and a torso of two women are drawn in ink and coloured separately, one in pink, the other in light blue, and with the solid black of the background to depict the shadowed areas.

The other figure can be seen behind her, to the left of the image, face in full profile towards the right, with her eyes closed. Her face and torso are also lit by hard light coming from the top right.
