UPDATE: Wow, that was FAST!!! All right, Groovy Agers, let's hear it for the patron (in the fine classical sense) who's equipped me to open the vaults of my paperback and fumetti collections to you in a bigger way than I ever have before: David Wahl of Monkey Goggles and Mostly Forbidden Zone! It's 12:20 AM on Monday at the time of this writing--I'll see if I can't get my WHOLE FUMETTI COLLECTION up on Flickr in humongous-res by midnight tonight, with more paperbacks to come in short order! Thanks so much, David!**********
Okay, Groovy Agers, here's the situation--my free Flickr account turns out to be a lot more limited and limiting than I expected, and I'd really like to upgrade to a Pro account, which would basically take away all those limits. If I were making any sort of income off this blog, I'd just see that expense as the price of doing business, and pony it right up myself, but I'm not, and my day-job income is pretty minuscule, and most of what's disposable goes to acquiring the stuff I cover here, so I'm throwing this out there, asking not for money but for something a little money can buy.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone could make a gift to me of a Flickr Pro account. Here's how to do it. It's 24.95 for one year, which is all I'm asking, and what that buys me is nothing more or less than the satisfaction of sharing hi-res cover scans of every goddamn vintage paperback (horror, sleaze, hardboiled, nurse, Nazi, stewardess, sexy spy, etc., etc.) and fumetti in my collection, as fast as I can scan and upload them--which, believe me, I will attack with all due diligence.
If you're inclined to be so generous, please call it first in the comments to this post, and check to make sure nobody's beat you to it. Please e-mail the activation code to curtpurcellAThotmailDOTcom. Thanks!

I got you covered.
The problem is - even if you have a paid account - Flickr can easily shut it down for bad content.
Exactly my case. Picasa closed my paid account for those Schulmädchen-Report posters.
Bosnuk--apparently, Flickr is okay with "bad" content as long as the user sets it with the appropriate filter (i.e. Safe, Moderate, or Restricted). I'm looking into what exactly those mean, but I'll do what I can to keep everything I post there available to readers here without getting completely shut down.
David Wahl is the man.
