Here's what Lynn Munroe has to say about CARLA:
"Paul Rader had been doing magazine illustrations and a few
paperback covers for Balcourt Art Service when Balcourt got
the job to provide the covers for a new line of books,
Midwood. The first numbered Midwood is #7, with art by Rudy
Nappi, another of Balcourt's crew. Midwood 8, shown here, was
Rader's first Midwood. Sheldon Lord's CARLA (1958) was author
Lawrence Block's first Midwood too, and his first published
book (the first book he wrote and sold, for Crest, came out
the following year). CARLA is a study in reds and greens,
with a redhead in a green dress surrounded by a swatch of
like colors. Right from the start, there's no question that
Rader, and Larry Block, and Midwood Books, will be heard from
again."
For Munroe's comments on all Midwoods with Rader covers (and
some information on who wrote what is included, just to make
this on-topic) go to:
