No Time for Love is #40 in the Bantam series and was published in June 1976. It is the story of Larina, who finds out that she has a month to live. What happens when she is contacted by the brother of a dead friend and they meet in Italy is the plot of this exciting story!

Francis Marshall illustrated 2 similar covers for this book. Both portray our couple in a romantic, foreign setting. I've always liked the Bantam one, which looks as if our couple is resting after walking up a steep hill. Note her summer hat and sunshade! This book was set in 1904 and the look had changed to a simple style made popular by Gibson's pictures of beautiful women. Fashion was less fussy and ornate. The Pan cover has our couple in a beautiful garden setting. They're wearing evening clothes and look as if they're ready for the dinner bell to ring. Both are beautiful covers.

At this point, I was purchasing Barbara Cartland's books every month. I would get the newest books and purchase the older numbers that I didn't already own. The cost was $1.25 which seems cheap now, but I was babysitting for $1 an hour! On a summer day, I could make up to $8, which would pay for a month of books. I believe the books were being published at the rate of 2 a month, but I would get as many as I could afford in order to have them all! It was a fun way to start book collecting! I also lived in my local library, where I could find Cartland's books and many other authors!!
