From the Author
A Pictorial History and Priceguide to gangster & sexy novels
Heavily illustrated history of the authors, artists and publishers of the sex and violence books published in the UK in the 1940s and 1950s. Hundreds of books illustrated, with introduction by Steve Holland and price guide to books shown.
Synopsis
Covers over 300 lurid books illustrated with values. Of great interest to book collectors, dealers and anyone interested in Popular Culture. The underbelly of the British postwar publishing industry is exposed in this book. These pulp paperbacks were turned out in their millions for essentially the male postwar reader desperate for tales of violence and sex. Many of the books are extremely scarce and highly prized for their hard-boiled tales of gangsters and their molls. Here is a visual history of the authors, artists, and publishers of the 1950s trash culture that led to many prosecutions for obscenity.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
