"B novel"

[Jonathan Lighter]

A "B novel" is just like a "B movie," except that it's a novel ! Cool !

  http://www.worldwar1.com/dbc/bstbooks.htm#6 characterizes Leonard B. Nason's 1929 adventure story, _The Man in the White Slicker_, as a "[h]ighly readable and exciting B Novel."

  There are "B girls," too, because frequently portrayed in "B pictures."  Or so someone undoubtedly thinks, somewhere.
