Soft cover. Condition: Good. Cover art by George Gross (illustrator). "Lover Boy" by Harmon Bellamy is the 1950 paperback reprint of the novel, "Sacrifice". This Venus Books reprint (No. 109) is a digest-sized pulp paperback with GGA cover art by George Gross. Venus Books was an imprint of publisher Star Guidance, Inc. "Lover Boy" was hot stuff for 1950, and, today, reveals the sadly sexist attitudes of that time. I don't know if the prose of the story is as purple as the cover blurb : "NAIVE ? AND NAUGHTY! In Jack's strong , demanding arms, beautiful, blonde Lois was completely helpless. "But why try to fight this pulsating desire, when, in a matter of hours she and Jack would be man and wife. But with the dawn came a shocking surprise - that left her floundering in a sea of despair, a surprise that drove her into the open, eager arms of virile Bob Duncan ! But when Bob entered the picture she knew that she had made a terrible mistake. With every fiber of her being yearning for his love, she knew that he would never play second fiddle to the dashing Jack Worthy. How could a man want a woman who had belonged - body and soul - to another man - especially when that man was his very best friend?" A surprise, will be for some, is that there are several halftone photo illustrations scattered through the text as accompaniment to the story. These are not mentioned on the title page or cover.
