Robert McGinnis is once of the most admired, influential and prolific illustrators working today, best known for his astonishing career as a paperback cover artist. His first covers appeared in 1958, and since then he has painted over one thousand of them, for all the major publishers in all genres. He is most renowned for his portraits of women. The elegant, sexy and intelligent McGinnis Woman is as distinctive and recognizable as was the Gibson Girl in the early 1900's. McGinnis was elected to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1993.
McGinnis's paperback work is avidly sought after by collectors. However, collecting McGinnis covers has been a huge challenge, not only because of the unprecedented volume of his work, but because he was often uncredited, he worked in a wide variety of styles, and many illustrators imitated him. No reliable checklist has been available until now. This book provides a complete and definitive bibliography documenting McGinnis's work as a paperback cover artist. With the artist's cooperation, it has been compiled by two long-time fans and collectors of his work, who began comparing notes and exchanging checklists in 1985.
Over 250 paperback covers are reproduced in this book, along with many examples of the original art, model photos and preliminary sketches which afford an inside-the-studio look at the artist's working methods. The parade of covers-mysteries, westerns, romances, bestsellers-is a capsule graphic survey of trends in American mass market fiction of the last forty years, and of the extraordinary career of a gifted illustrator, Robert McGinnis.

Just after World War II, Arthur and Nan Kellam left a life in the secretive world of California defense contractors for the quiet of Placentia Island. They spent decades together in a small cabin, their refuge from civilization. Rarely did they have visitors and rarely did they visit. They kept a life that was both close to the land and close to each other. They chose to live a life without technology and to leave behind "the burden of abundance" for the simplicity of nature, tides, and windswept island forests. For years after their departure, their cabin remained untouched, appearing as if they had just gone off to nearby Bass Harbor for provisions. Books, letters, and teacups remained just as they had left them, a mute testament to a great and solitary love-love of each other and of the island. It was in this condition that David Graham photographed the cabin and its revealing details over the course of three years. Nicols Fox echoes Graham's photographs with well-chosen words, providing another perspective on the Kellams's life as well as a history of their life together. The result is an intriguing and revealing look at life and love. David Graham is well-known photographer with photographs in the collections of New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His work can also be regularly seen in the New York Times Magazine, Time, Newsweek, and Fortune. Nicols Fox is the author of Spoiled: The Dangerous Truth about a Food Chain Gone Haywire and It was Probably Something You Ate. She also writes for the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, and the Boston Globe. She lives in Maine, a short distance from Placentia Island.
