Louise Brooks: Book Cover Girl

Silent film star Louise Brooks "appears on, and in, a surprising number of books. The latest, which was just released and is set to be one of the big books of the summer, is Laura Moriarty's The Chaperone," wrote Thomas Gladysz in a Huffington Post piece where he highlighted "just some of the many covers which feature Louise Brooks--including works of fiction, poetry, and other unrelated works of nonfiction."

Gladysz is a bookseller at Book Passage, Corte Madera, California; a writer and the founding director of the Louise Brooks Society. He also wrote the introduction to the "Louise Brooks Edition" of Margarete Bohme's classic novel, The Diary of a Lost Girl.
