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.
