I found this intriguing old book listed among pulp fiction titles (what?!) on eBay. Despite the tacky cover, it is a serious biography about the sex change of Einar Wegener, husband of artist Gerda Wegener, whose work I blogged here just last week. Wow, what a coinky-dink! This sent me on a search of Amazon, where I discovered that this book was reprinted (with a new cover) in 2004.
Here are the two, for comparison. The second cover gives the subject the respect it deserves.
