Gil Elvgren: The Complete Pin-Ups

Remember that awesome Alberto Vargas Coffee Table Book I scored at my local Barnes & Nobles a few months back? Well, visiting the town branch of the store the other day, found that they'd gotten ahold of another beautiful Coffee Table Book, this time by  the arguable MASTER of Pin-Up Girl artwork, Gil Elvgren!

Damn, what an AWESOME book! Pages and Pages of gloriously gorgeous gals from the 40's thru to the 60's and 70's, this was a book well worth its original $39.95 price tag, made even BETTER by the sweet $14.95 Barnes and Noble was selling it for! (I found out later that Amazon was selling it for an even cheaper $10.00! Unbelievable!)

This is certainly a great time for Good Girl Art aficionados like me! With all the wonderful photobooks showcasing the great artists of our times, it's only a matter of time before ALL of my faves are covered! Here's hoping to see that amazing Jack Cole book at Barnes and Noble next! After That? One can always wish for one Doug Sneyd, I suppose...
