733. RT Rewind: July 1992 Ads & Features - The 100th Issue Special!

We are back in the early 90s, when the mullets were epic and the covers were sumptuous. Come on back to July 1992 with us as we explore the ads & features of the 100th issue of Romantic Times Magazine!

This issue contains some FASCINATING retrospective looks at romance, cover art, and more, and I think it is one of the primary sources cited for some of the more common stories I’ve heard about romance.

Were you a Borders, B. Dalton, or Waldenbooks reader, or another bookshop entirely?

Don’t forget – you can watch this episode on YouTube with the visuals on screen, or look for the visual aids at SBTB!

We also mentioned:

• The sandals from Keen I mentioned in the outro.
• Lucynka’s posts on SBTB about pulp romance
• Marysville Public Library: Nora Roberts Go Fish (Facebook video)
• Lake Villa District Library: Nora Roberts Challenge (Tiktok video)
