Later editions were re-published by the Literary Guild and by Sun Dial Press. The Sun Dial Press editions are the easiest to find nowadays.The cover art on the dust jacket utilizes a clever play on the term 3-bagger, which means hitting a triple, or getting to third base in baseball. Well, we all know the teenager phrases about getting to first base, getting to second base and getting to third base to describe one's "success" or lack of "success" on a date. So, what you'll see on the dust jacket is a baseball diamond with women in various states of undress at each base. Each woman is also represented as part of a particular image associated with the novel listed at the specific base.
