About This Item
New York & London: Macmillan & Collier-Macmillan, 1967. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Touching upon the trials and tribulations of such porn-/obscenity-world notables as Ralph Ginzburg, Sam Roth, Allen Ginsberg and Lenny Bruce, among others, the author (from the front flap) "gives an incisive -- and lively -- view of pornography and the fantastic confusion engulfing efforts to restrain it. The book's reasoned valuation of the pros and cons of censorship is antidoctrinaire: it questions alike the stridence of the bluenoses and the extremism of self-proclaimed liberals." Green cloth w/gilt lettering, 368 pages, including acknowledgements/notes/index. Some sunning to spine tips, a hint of corner wear, in dust jacket w/slightly sunned spine, light edgewear, a bit of wear to corners/spine ends. .
