Hard-cover Sleaze

   
FOUR SEEK LOVE (Bargain Basement) by Clement Wood & Gloria GoddardTHE SISTERHOOD OF EVIL by Joe Weiss & Georges PrimitifCHECK OUT THIS BOOK!CHECK OUT THIS BOOK!CHECK OUT THIS BOOK!CHECK OUT THIS BOOK!CHECK OUT THIS BOOK!CHECK OUT THIS BOOK!


We tend to imagine that the throw-away nature of the sleaze book is in itself a statement as its its true value in popular culture, i.e., the contents were never worth more than the couple quarters they cost to attain.  This certainly gives one pause then to acknowledge the fairly well-established publishing enterprise of the hard-cover sleaze book in dust-jacket.  It must be assumed that these books took their place alongside the products of the "proper" mainstream publishing houses in bookstores across the land (and perhaps abroad).   As one will note, there were even authors proud to acknowledge their writing (and sign their books) -- as opposed to the maze of pseudonymous attributions that would later mark the league of sleaze writers.

Be sure to cross-check the "Writers" and "Artists" and "Themes" areas also!  

New books 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!
