I really like the vivid colors in the most recent pictures you've posted, Paula.

Hey Paula, what's the date of this edition? It looks late 40's or 50's.

Nice! I have an earlier hardcover edition with some wonderful period illustrations, more comic than suggestive/lurid.

No doubt, Ken, those are Ralph Barton illustrations, which I mentioned on my blog... I've been wanting the first edition hardcover...

I have a fascinating bio on Barton, really interesting artist (so were his friends) -- You can borrow it, if you like bios.

Very funny book at times, but Loos never quite made Lorelei seems quite as naive and brainless as she was supposed to be. She did much better by Lorelei's friend Dorothy and Lorelei's married boyfriend, who goes to Germany to visit his starving relatives and finds that they're all fatter than he is . . .
