The ads and features from the July 2000 issue of Romantic Times are a treasure trove of wtfery! It’s PEAK stepback era.
Readers have been introduced to Half.com for selling their old books, and they are very excited about it – to say nothing of People.com and EW.com. We get a peek into the Romantic Times and Lady Barrow BookLover Tours – the prices made me very envious.
We also spend some time talking about Monica Jackson, who died in 2012, and is part of the reason why we started addressing the racism in romance many, many years ago.
Seriously, the visual aids are a feast this week. It's PEAK stepback era.
We’ve got links. SO many links.
- THE ROMANCE SWATCH Y’ALL – it’s on eBay!
- PEOPLE in the 90s podcast: Fabio
- Steve Sandalis naked on a cover, bathing in a volcano
- You can buy a signed copy of this book on eBay
- There’s also the Viking Diaper stepback
- We mentioned the late Monica Jackson, and I read some of her writing at AAR, accessed via the Wayback Machine. You can also read her comments about being a Black romance author at TeachMeTonight.
