Wanton Book Covers
Covers that earn their titles
The word wanton, meaning “sexually immodest or promiscuous” and usually referring to women, is an old-fashioned one. Almost puritanical in nature and origin, it’s rarely seen beyond the vocabulary sections of standardized tests. But once upon a time, in the glory days of pulp, the word helped conjure up some of the sexiest covers of all time. Below are just a few of the salacious covers that use wanton in the cover and earn it.
