Description:
San Diego: Greenleaf Classics, 1971. Pictorial wrappers. Light shelfwear; small bump to corner. Very good. 4to. 143pp. Illustrated throughout with reproductions of the books in b/w. Commentary by the editor. Gilmore's in-depth survey of pornographic 'Tijuana Bibles' or 8-pager, that uniquely American art form. A pioneering study as well as a major anthology of TJBs. In Volume 4: An Attempt to Expand, Gilmore presents selected comics not shown in previous volumes, ranging from the work of "Mr. Prolific," to the work from the forties, fifties and sixties. An interesting look at the development of the form. Of special note is the editor's inclusion of many 16-page stories and the lengthy "Travelin' Preacher" tale - a novelistic landmark in the field.
