Justin Marriott has been steadily carving out his own niche for some years now, producing several magazines on diverse subjects such as British war comics and books, Western paperbacks, horror, sci-fi, adventure and adult books and much more besides. He has several titles in production which all display his formidable knowledge and research into his favourite subject - paperbacks; the pulpier the better. Expect to see lurid covers where semi-clad ladies adorn copies of "Don't Be A Wife - Be A Mistress" and "The Big Snatch".

#45 of "The Paperback Fanatic" differs from the usual style of most of Marriott's magazines, (interviews and articles) being a full-colour visual guide (see photo) to the books released by a particular publishing company, in this instance, Belmont and Tower Books. There is an informative introduction and a short write-up accompanying each title. 

If you are a collector of paperbacks, this issue and the other titles created by Justin Marriott form an indispensable and essential resource. The rest of us can enjoy a chortle at the often barking-mad titles and even crazier covers!
