About This Item
New York: Citadel Press, 1968. 1st Am edition. Cloth in d/j. Very good.. 8vo. pp. 160. A reprint of the far better titled Private Case - Public Scandal (London: Secker & Warburg, 1966). This book manages to cram in an extraordinary amount of reliable information concerning the rich and varied erotica holdings of the British Museum Library, these days called simply the British Library. The history of the collection is given, and chapters are devoted to specific genres of erotic books. A final chapter discusses the mysterious "S.S." collection, which comprises books sealed up and locked away by reason of libel, secrecy and criticism of the monarchy. A highly readable and witty piece of research. Strongly recommended by this compiler.
