(Note: Video review differs markedly from text review below.)
Robot Reviewer loves vintage cheesy romance and career books. In addition to this one, RR owns a copy of Joan Foster, Sophomore (1948) and Hotel Nurse (1967). The book we're reviewing is part of a large series of books called Career Romances for Young Moderns which appear to be marketed towards up and coming females aspiring to be more than just a housewife. The titles say it all including classics such as Janice: Airline Hostess, Kathie: The New Teacher, Lynn Pamet: Caterer. But Jinny Williams stands head and shoulder above all of those classics.You see, Jinny aspires to eventually move up from her newly appointed position as "Junior Library Assistant" to "Qualified Library Assistant." The girl certainly does have ambition. Unfortunately, she has a run in with the lady reference lieberrian, Mrs. Bender (a GREAT name for a character according to RR). Jinny and Mrs. Bender just don't see eye to eye (Mrs. Bender is smarter than Jinny and doesn't let poor Jinny forget that). Anyway, Jinny has all sorts of lieberry adventures. In one, she misplaces an expensive coin collection. Where oh where did that 1804 silver dollar go? In between all of this she has to choose between the hunky dummy or the sophisticated nerd.She of course chooses the hunk which led to a sequel, Jinny Williams, Serially Abused Sex Object. I'm still trying to locate a copy.
Jinny Williams, Library Assistant gets our highest rating of "Klaatu nikto barada" due to a cool retro cover and cheesy dialog.
