Equally interesting is the sailor-in-port connection between Travelers Companion and LLP books.    It was widely-accepted that the bulk of the TC readership was composed of British seamen, who would sometimes wash up at the doors of the TC editorial offices at 7 Rue Nesle in Paris, demanding to meet the female authors or suggesting storylines for future books.   In this new bookline, the port of Liverpool was used -- now being perhaps the most famous of British sailing ports, thanks to the Beatles -- bringing with it the spirit of free-wheeling, seed-sowing adventure-in-foreign-ports (as well as a Beatlized youthful energy that was universally celebrated in the late 1960s).   

Finally, the copyright page bore a Scandenavian address for the series' editorial offices -- thereby capitalizing on the life-affirming embrace of sexuality widely regarded as a Scandanavian birthright and in evidence in the celebrated films of Ingmar Bergman (SUMMER WITH MONIKA and STRANGE INTERLUDE with their early glimpses of "art house" nudity) as well as the bolder "revolutionary" display of full-frontal sexual activity in I AM CURIOUS YELLOW and beyond.   In reality, the books were written by stateside American authors, edited and produced by a small editorial staff living in Majorca, and printed and distributed out of Southern California, using the same printers as (and distributed by) the Greenleaf operation.  The Scandenavian address appearing on the copyright page provided an excellent marketing ploy (and possibly an expensive Federal goose chase).   Such elegant and savvy positioning (along with quality writing) made LLP books enormously successful and incited scads of imitating book lines from adult publishing heavyweights from American Art to Greenleaf and beyond.   LLP carried on publishing through the early 1990s, though original texts were produced only through the late 1970s.   By that time, the signature line-drawing had given way to a variety of illustration styles -- as there were a variety of booklines by that time as well.   Fans of one niche of sexuality or another could find material suited to their tastes in either the general LLP series, the LLP Rear Window series, the Caesar books, LLP Rampant Action, LLP Forbidden Romances, and a variety of others.
