• Bombshells : Glamour Girls of a Lifetime - "Bombshells" is a book that brings back a flood of fond memories, gives us rich anecdotes we'd never heard before, and dazzles the eye with its sizzling photo images. Anyone who loves the pop culture of the '50s and '60s, and glamour girls in general, will love this book.

• Bettie Page: The Life of a Pin-Up Legend - This book is well-written and leads the reader through Bettie's life; from her start and to her present day in a respectful and fascinating manner.
• Carnival Strippers - Originally published in 1976, this book is considered a pioneering publication for it’s frank and honest look at women on the margins of society.This revised edition contains a new selection of Meiselas’ black-and-white photographs together with the original excerpts from the interviews. Photographing and interviewing women who performed striptease for small town carnivals in New England, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.
• Circus and Carnival Trucks 1923-2000: Photo Archive - "Being an over 30 year member of the Circus Model Builders and known for the circus truck models I have built, this book has a lot of picture history. I remember seeing the truck that is on the cover when I was a child and it brings back memories. I have never seen any of the photos in this book before and many of the over land trucks I have seen in person. This book is a must for all people interested in the circus or the many types of trucks circuses used."
• Elvira, Mistress of the Dark - Elvira Mistress of the Dark.
• Elvira's Haunted Hills - The audience for this rickety spoof is probably limited to three groups: diehard fans of Elvira, cultists of '60s horror (specifically the Edgar Allan Poe and Hammer offerings), and people who believe rim-shot, borscht belt humor ought to be brought back. The last group apparently includes Cassandra Peterson, the comedian who dreamed up Elvira; her fondness for vaudeville one-liners is either groan-worthy or infectious, depending on your tolerance for such things. Sample: "The village people say this castle is evil." "Ah, who listens to the Village People any more?" Ouch. Her Mae-West-meets-Vampira shtick wears surprisingly well at feature length (1988's Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is actually a pretty good time), although this movie simply runs out of material halfway through. Bonus: Rocky Horror genius Richard O'Brien contributes some amusing ravings as a mysterious Carpathian castle owner, pining away for a dead wife who suspiciously resembles our heroine. --Robert Horton
