520    The mid-twentieth century saw paperback novels eclipse 
       cheap pulp magazines and expensive clothbound books as the
       most popular format for escapist fiction. To catch the 
       eyes of potential buyers, they were adorned with covers 
       that were invariably vibrant, frequently garish, and 
       occasionally lurid.
