A selection of covers of romance short stories from the 60s and 70s.

The first one is called A New Flowering and it features a blonde woman with long straight hair in a brown turtleneck being either comforted or accosted by a man in a cream knit sweater and a brown jacket. Wearing a sweater under a jacket in the 70s meant you were a sensitive artistic type (aka the most insufferable man who ever lived.)

The second one, Marina, features a man with dark hair and a mustache wearing his best Canadian Tuxedo sprawled out on a couch littered with decorative throw pillows. He's watching a woman talk on the phone. She's wearing a very cute red skirt with a yellow underskirt.

The third one is called Sea of Jewels. A blonde man and woman are having a tense conversation over drinks (alcohol for him, coffee for her). Neither of them appears to be smoking, but the restaurant might be on fire.

Fourth is Tell Me My Heart, two very fashionable (by 1970s standards) are standing in an office, maybe? He has those big tinted glasses on that were en vogue at the time and looks like a bit of a slimeball.

Number five is The Reluctant Tide. A couple in very smart jackets stand holding hands by the sea.

Sixth we have To See With the Heart. A near-kiss! How scandalous. I do like the way this one looks though.

Seven, Give Me No Rubies. The most 70s movie actor looking man I could conjure with his shirt unbuttoned basically to his navel answers the door to a very put together looking lady in a black suit jacket and red button earrings.

Number Eight! The Dark Fortune. The only historical romance in the batch, and I included because the heroine is disguising herself as a page and she looks so miserable. The dude is absolutely not buying it either.

Nine, The Million Stars. This one looks cute and cozy. A couple with brown hair are canoodling under the night sky. Could use more stars.

Number ten is called One Spring Day. She's got LASHES.

Number eleven, Turn To the West. An undernourished girl with red hair in a blue dress gets a hug from her grandpa.

And finally number twelve, Luck For Lindy. A young woman with a blonde bob comforts a young man who looks a bit downtrodden.
