This was the first erotic book I've ever read, and not at all terrible after I reminded myself that it was written in a time period where women were considered feeble. The main character, Vicki has inner dialogue throughout the book and on many occasions states that she wishes she was a 'real wife' that could 'please her husband like I'm almost tempted to give only 2 stars because of the rape scene ending.

This was the first erotic book I've ever read, and not at all terrible after I reminded myself that it was written in a time period where women were considered feeble. The main character, Vicki has inner dialogue throughout the book and on many occasions states that she wishes she was a 'real wife' that could 'please her husband like a real woman should' which were phrases that made me cringe to read. However the overall storytelling of this short erotic novel was good enough that I would seek out and read a few more of the LLP stories.

The Adult labels of the 1980's, such as the later Beeline and Liverpool Library books are not, in my opinion, candidates for 'sleaze.' They've crossed the line. Not that I'm necessarily opposed. They're just not part of this venue.

Sleaze Covers are arranged alphabetically by publisher.

I sort of put 'Sleaze' into two categories. First is the type of publication used sex to sell books that might otherwise be categorized as mystery or romance. The second type of publisher wanted to sell 'sex books' but couldn't because the U.S. Court System still had a very broad definition of 'pornography,' which was illegal. And so, they pressed the edges of that particular envelope very hard, and often had books questioned in court. In the case of the first category (sort of the 'R-rated' sleaze books) the largest publishers were Beacon and Midwood.

Beacon was the first regular paperback-sized book published by the Universal Publishing Company, which also issued such labels as Uni Books, Intimate, Royal Giant, Stallion and Fiesta. The Beacon label would eventually give way to Softcover Library, starting somewhere around #B800, but it kept the same lighthouse colophon. Midwood was published by Tower Publications. Beginning with #32-400, they are identified as Midwood Tower Books. Visual studio free version download. Later in its run, Midwood would print more and more photo covers, often on 'Double-Novels.' These cover pictures tended to be generic presentations of scantily clad women, and usually had no bearing whatever to the works themselves.
