Description
In all its forbidden glory, period 'sleaze' erotica receives an investigation into the medium with extensive interviews and cover art. Sin-a-Rama celebrates the near-forgotten world of erotic paperbacks from the 1960s when sex acts were described with code words, writers used pseudonyms and publishers hid behind mail drop addresses. The bizarre glories of cover artists Robert Bonfils, Gene Bilbrew, Eric Stanton, Bill Ward and others are seen throughout in lurid colour. A useful appendix reveals the actual names behind the pseudonyms. Expanded, revised edition.
