I got some nice Xmas gifts that arrived late!
Someone got me, "SIN-A-RAMA: Sleaze Sex Paperbacks of the Sixties" a really great book about those lurid X-rated paperbacks with titles like Lake of Lust, Casting Couch and Naked Lens!
Several well-known authors are profiled like Donald Westlake, Ed Wood, Lawrence Block, acclaimed SF author Robert Silverberg, whose "My Life as a Pornographer" tells how in 1962 he was "writing four books a month" and earning enough money to buy "a mansion in residential New York City."
A catalogue of "sleaze publishers" one who was based here in quaint Fresno and others in North Hollywood. Looks like I know how to pick good places to live!
A list of author pseudonyms used by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Harlan Ellison, and others.
Fantastic looking book! Just wish I knew who got it for me. I had several gifts from Amazon.com that had no note of who it was bought by...
Well, Thank you whoever you are!
