Gil Elvgren has been called the "Norman Rockwell of cheesecake". For several generations, his lush images of gorgeous women appeared on the walls of barber shops, barracks, saloons, garages, and frat houses -- anywhere that men gathered to work or play. Co-authored by the artist's son, this fun book brims with anecdotes, art history, and photographs of Elvgren models posing next to finished advertisements or calendars. It's a book for art lovers and fans of "risque" pinup art alike.
