Jack Woodford
Jack Woodford was born Josiah Pitts Woolfolk in Chicago in 1894 and grew to be the grandfather of Sleaze.  Known equally for his entertaining and informative non-fiction books on writing, Woodford wrote dozens of popular erotica novels from the 1930s through the 1950s.  He began as a journalist, also worked for Julius Haldeman's Little-Blue Books and in 1931 started writing novels for the early New York hardcover erotica publisher, William Godwin.  Woodford did a stint in Hollywood where he wrote a number of romantic-comedy shorts in the late-1930s and supplied the early paperback house, AVON, with manuscripts and reprint rights to earlier work.  In the late 40s Citadel approached Woodford about forming The Woodford Press to do hardcover reprints of his bestselling early novels (as well as publish a handful of writers Woodford personally selected).  Woodford agreed, but after a few years, royalties were disputed and Woodford abandoned the imprint which bore his name and began publishing under his own Signature Press.  He died in 1971, but is still in print via another publishing entity Jack Woodford Memorial Editions.


New titles will be added as they become available.

How to order

This is a self-made website by little old me, and while it might be big, it is not sophisticated.  The little buy icon icon takes you to a generic order form where you can type in the author, title, price, and indicate whether you would like to send me a check, money order or credit card payment.  I will confirm availability via e-mail, and once I've received payment, I'll ship the book.  It's that easy.  If you have questions,  please don't hesitate to ask  via email.

Condition Grades

There's a standard bookseller vocabulary, with terms like Fine, Very Good, Good and Poor to assess condition (to see these terms defined, click on the link above).  Most of my books are in Very Good or better condition, and I tend to overemphasize their flaws so that any surprise is a pleasant one.  Feel free to ask questions, and if the book isn't in the condition described, you may return it for a full refund. 

Wants Lists

If I don't have the book you seek in stock, I will retain your book search in my wants files and email you when I do have a copy for sale. If you don't hear back from me immediately, that probably means I don't have a copy right now.  But fear not,  I keep extensive files and never stop looking....  so send me your request;  you've got nothing to lose!
