John Holmes
   
John Holmes

John Holmes

Known for his very large penis, John Holmes embodies an entire era of porn... the heady rise of hardcore movies and its dismal dissolution and fall.  Holmes' came from a central Ohio farm-town and found work as an adult model in the late 60s -- appearing in straight and gay photo shoots, his prodigious penis prominent.  His tremendous organ soon brought him stardom and wealth as adult films replaced photomags as the principle porn commodity/experience.  Easy money, fame and unlimited privilidge wreaked havoc on him and he fell into drug addiction and eventually descended into a life of crime.  He was tried in the 1981 drug-related murders at 8763 Wonderland Avenue in LA's Laurel Canyon.  Unfortunately, Holmes became a victim of AIDS and died in 1988.  His life is well-documented by Hollywood via the films BOOGIE NIGHTS and WONDERLAND -- but perhaps best in the independent documentary JOHN HOLMES, THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND (2004, David Wald, Director).  

For a fascinating view into John Holmes life, including access to his personal autobiographical recordings,
I suggest you check out johnholmes.com, his widow's website, which is quite worthwhile.

New Holmes 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!
