* [[Contemptible Cover]]: Done in the 50s with images that look very tame compared to today. The recent reprints take it [[Up to Eleven]] with incredibly over-the-top and sleazy images in order to replicate the effect. |

* [[Suddenly Sexuality]]: Averted (the trope didn't really exist at this point). It's rather notable just how realistically complex the characters are. The first book has Laura go through a rather arduous process of coming out, first thinking [[If It's You It's Okay]] before moving on to a [[Psycho Lesbian]] [[Stalker with a Crush]] phase, finally ending with [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] (without sacrificing her own happiness in the process). |
