Etat Bon exemplaire. Cartonnage de l'éditeur ilustré. "Finally out from under the bed & into the artistic mainstream - this book celebrates the youthful period of pulchritudinally frank, filmic porno, ca. 1920's - 1960's. Parental guidance required - no foolin'! (& how will you explain those Mexican movie stills to grandma, as well?). Regardless of how one defines obsenity (personally, I'd say the War in Iraq is a far more obsene thing than this earnest little tome) this is inarguably a remarkable book. Mr. Tynan provides all the erudite justifications one may ever need."
