CHECK OUT THESE BOOKS!



Continental Classics were a series of consistently well-done novels of classic and original erotica with a vague European pedigree -- reflected in their uniform covers which evoke the famous Olympia Press Travellers Companion books, and emphasize their "European" sensibility with the recurring cover graphic depicting the Eiffel Tower.  The stories here all take place either in the UK or "on the continent," and feature an alternating tone of Victorian "classic" erotica and modern-day hippie jet-set sex scorcher.  Their introductions were courtesy of one "Allen Saunders, MA" of New York City, who may be any number of authors working at the time.
As I have not read many of these, I would greatly appreciate some thoughts and reflections about the books from readers and collectors.  Unleash your tongues!

Be sure to cross-check the "Writers" and "Artists" and "Themes" areas also!  
New books will be added as they become available.  

   

Here's the current catalog of Continental Classics books.

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!
