Product Description
In Pin-Up: The Illegitimate Art, Jim Silke pays tribute to the beautiful Hollywood starlets that he spent years photographing. Acclaimed as both author and artist, Silke takes a sharp, sexy look at the "bedtime babies" and "bare-naked ladies" that have been staples of lady lovers for decades. Also included are classic images by George Petty, Coby Whitmore, Enoch Bolles, and Al Parker.

 Pinup Review March 20, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book had excellent drawings and pictures. I am really into pinup art and this made a great addition to my collection of books.
 Not as Smooth as Silke September 8, 2005
This book tells the story of Jim Silke and is very informative, but the quality of the art was less than expected. I have always enjoyed Jim's art and the book is a welcome addition to my collection of fantasy and pinup artists, but I think the publisher does not do the Art due justice.
a glorious book... June 7, 2005
Silkie is a rarity, as good a writer as he is an artist and photographer. A long-time devotee of the field, he was unabashedly pinup-centric before that was cool. His art in this volume is ample and beautiful. For example, for the past few years Silkie has been THE Vampirella artist, infusing new glamour and danger into a frequently-overdone character. The best part of the book to me is Silkie's text, where he "tells it like it is" as a veteran of the scene for many years. Kudos to him for this wonderful, fun book.
