Decided it was time finally to read this, half a century after reading Orwell's essay on it, so ordered a copy on Abe Books. The cover is exactly what you'd hope:
A 'fifties paperback of the pulp novel 'No Orchids for Miss Blandish' by James Hadley Chase.  The cover picture shows a redheaded women in a low-cut green dress lying on a bed.
