A brief follow-up to the previous post featuring interviews with Timelock singer Ruud Stoker and Louise Brooks cover artist Corné Akkers. Mentioned in that piece was Louise Brooks' 1982 book, Lulu in Hollwood. Shown here is the front and back covers of the Dutch edition of Loulou in Hollywood, which was published in The Netherlands in 1989 by Het Wereldvenster. I don't believe the Dutch edition is still in print. Nevertheless, for those who read Dutch, this is a very nicely printed edition. I expect it can be found used online. That's how I got mine a number of years ago. [Scans by Thomas Gladysz from the collection of the Louise Brooks Society.]

The Dutch edition of Loulou in Hollywood
If there is something familiar about the front cover of this edition, it may be the font used in the word Loulou, which is the same used by the manufacturer of the popular French perfume, Cacharel Lou Lou Eau de Parfum. But which came first? Nosey designers want to know.
