Duet in darkness

Duet in Darkness front cover: Two women are displayed in an indoors setting. One of them, a black woman with short, straight black hair, sits on the wooden floor in a white negligee. Her left side faces the reader, and she sits with her left leg bent at the knee and turned outward toward her back, her foot bare. Her left hand is posed on her left calf and has a ring on its ring finger. Her right hand touches the edge of a blue and black cushioned sofa to her right. Her head is turned sharply to her left, and she looks straight out at the reader with a serious expression on her face. In the background, beside her on the sofa, a redhead with straight hair to her shoulder sits, with both legs folded atop the seat, feet facing right of the image. She is wearing a short, denim skirt and a brown, sleeveless blouse with buttons at the front and a V-neck. Her left hand is blocked by the figure who sits on the floor, and her right hand is holding a cigarette, elbow rested on the back of the chair. She is almost facing the reader; her body slightly twisted to her right. Her head faces the reader, but her sight is directed toward the other woman, with a serious expression. The scene is lit with natural light coming slightly from the left, casting a shadow of the black woman on the sofa and on the brick wall in the background.

Lesbos jungle

The Lesbos Jungle front cover. Two women in the image seem to attack a single man in what looks like a back street alley. A red brick wall is behind them. A garbage bin is partially shown in the foreground, and a wooden crate is partially revealed to the left. There is a bottle on the ground and a puddle. The blonde on the left of the image is shown ripping off the man's shirt, while the brunette on the right grasps his arm by the bicep. The women are fully dressed while the man wears jeans and boots; his belt is unbuckled, and his jeans are half-unzipped. The blonde is wearing a white, turtle-neck sweater, black leather pants and black leather boots and her hair is long, with bangs across her forehead. The brunette is wearing a white turtle-neck blouse under a black leather jacket, black leather stiletto boots and white pants. Her hair is short and wavy. The man looks surprised and scared, right arm bent, hand in front of his face as if trying to cover his eyes from the light that comes from the front left. His eyes and mouth are wide open.

Three strange women

Three Strange Woment front cover: Against a gray background there are two women. One is in the background standing in the center, her body facing right of the reader. She is a blonde with short hair brushed back and is wearing a brown skirt and a white blouse, which she seems to start to remove, revealing a white brassiere. Her face is frontal, slightly tilted to her left, and she gazes straight out at the reader. The other woman is a redhead with short, curly hair who is lying down in the foreground, her body facing the reader, head to the left of the image. She is wearing a white peignoir, her left shoulder exposed by the sleeve that hangs over it. Her left arm is bent, hand to the left of the image, and she is hugging a purple pillow with both hands, with her torso raised. Her right leg is bent, with the knee pointing forward, and uncovered.

We walk alone

We Walk Alone front cover. The bottom two-thirds of the cover contains an outdoors scene with a blond woman in the foreground, right of the image.

Through the garment, her bare skin is seen, on buttocks and legs. Her back is arched to her front left, head bowed and also turned to her left. Her arms are in front of her, almost invisible to the reader. Her hair is long and wavy and is seen hanging in front of her left shoulder. In the background of the image, the sky with many clouds can be seen, partially covering a mountain. Directly in front of the woman trees can also be seen, and a marble or stone gazebo surrounded by more trees and by haze.

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.
