A collection of the outrageous paperback book covers from the 1970s that appear in the Headpress book, HIP POCKET SLEAZE: The Lurid World of Vintage Adult Paperbacks by John Harrison.
Charting the rise of sleazy pulp fiction during the 1960s and 1970s and reviewing many of the key titles, the book takes an informed look at the various genres and markets from this enormously prolific era, from groundbreaking gay and lesbian-themed books to the Armed Services Editions. Influential authors, publishers and coverartists are profiled and interviewed, including the "godfather of gore" H. G. Lewis, cult lesbian author Ann Bannon, fetish artist par excellence Bill Ward and many others.
