New York : Avant Guard Books, 1973, 1973. Very Good. 35 pp. ; illustrated endpapers ; black cloth with white lettering, in black, gold and white nicked and creased dustjacket ; "Ralph Ginzburg...has been referred to as everything from 'a Renaissance man' (poet Ed Sanders) to 'a pornographic pestilence' (Congresswoman Kathryn O'Hay Granahan), from 'a saint martyred on the altar of love' (Rev. George Von Hilsheimer III) to 'a hard-shelled mollusk thriving in mud' (William F. Buckley, Jr.). His first imbroglio stemmed from the publication of Eros, a quarterly on the joys of love and sex that featured erotic works by such masters as Rembrandt, D H Lawrence, Picasso, Mark Twain, Michelangelo, Norman Mailer, Ovid, Ray Bradbury, Shakespeare and Robert Burns. Its suppression by the United States Supreme Court led to the imprisonment described in tis volume."--dustjacket ; the only book with the words "celsitudinous" and "claustrophobifacient" in it ; VG/FAIR
