About This Item
Early mimeo sexually explicit series. It is difficult to find these early, mimeo examples of sexually explicit prose and, for all the usual reasons, it is harder still to find complete multi-volume sets. Poorly printed, poorly bound, and of subject matter that was often disposed of rather than tended to, they seldom pass the test of time. This is especially true of these early, 'full sized sheet' copies, with a relatively small number of examples in various collections. As printed illustration was beyond the technology used, these are illustrated with four b/w photographs in each volume. Minor shelf/edge wear, closed tear at mid-spine (repaired), crease at bottom corner of FFEP, very minor toning to textblock, some overtyped corrections. else tight, bright, and unmarred. Red textured cloth boards, gilt lettering. 4to. 32; 86; 65pp.
