Dust jacket for The Lively Commerce: Prostitution in the United States by Charles Winick and Paul M. Kinsie, published in 1971 by Quadrangle Books, Inc (Chicago).

Jacket design by Milton Charles, using two weights of Kabel. Miriam Rosenbloom wrote about his jackets for V.C. Andrews for ABDA, quoted with bio below:

In 1973 he became Art Director at Pocket Books – the famous imprint of Simon & Schuster that introduced mass-market paperbacks to the American market in the model of Penguin in the UK. During the 70s, he designed jackets for some of the literary greats of the time including Pynchon and Vonnegut, as well as creating genre-defining work including Harold Robbin’s Spellbinder and Jackie Collins’s Hollywood Wives.

It’s clear he was no stranger to using Kabel. You can also see more of his work on Flickr, in albums curated by Leif Peng and Kyle Katz.
