Day 9: Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote


I can't be too sure if this is an original, reprinted, or contemporary cover. From the looks of things it could almost be an original if not a reprint. Who know's if I'm even using the right terminology. Probably not. But perhaps you kind of know what I mean.

I think this looks like a magazine cover from the 1930's. A rather risque one in fact. Ok, perhaps a magazine cover from the 1960's...when things got a little more easy breezy.

"The wickedly funny experiences of a delightfully uninhibited playgirl," does not leave much to the imagination. Even the word uninhibited doesn't leave much to the imagination even in this day and age. Whatever Capote's got going on the front is apparently only half of whatever is on the inside...if readers even got that far.

Breakfast at Tiffany's doesn't even suit the girl on the front. She don't look like no Holly Golightly to me.

If all the busy content got taken off the front, like the text and stamp, this could be a poster.
