Sivupolut. A fun discovery, this. Quite the collection of paperback covers (including a nice cross section of vintage American covers from the golden age). Pin-up art and various other pulpy stuff, too, with the content leaning a little toward the softcore vintage sleaze. The site seems to be related to the author's bookstore, and I must confess that the organization is a bit of a mystery to me. But not to worry -- this is a highly entertaining resource, and the Finnish perspective is refreshing.
