Golden Boy Books
Part 2 of 3
Today we take a look at Golden Boy Books.
Golden Boy Books was an imprint published by Arena Publications, who operated out of a facility at 12011 Sherman Road in North Hollywood, California, 91605. They published a total of 27 titles under this imprint between 1978 and 1979.
All the books feature colorful artwork by the same artist, done in a very soft, romance-novel type style, with the distinctive 'GB' logo adorning the center of the book's back cover. With few exceptions, the illustration is presented on a white background with a bold, colored title floating above it.
These books sell for between $50-$189, though listings are somewhat rare.
