67061 SEXUAL LIFE OF CATHERINE M by Catherine Millet


From al-fresco encounters in Italy and gang bangs in the Bois de Boulogne to a high class orgy at a chic Parisian swingers’ club, Catherine takes pleasure everywhere - in the indistinct darkness of a peepshow booth or under the probing light of a movie camera. From tender interludes with a lover to situations where her partners are so numerous that they became indistinguishable parts of a collective organism, she is relentlessly honest about the consequences of sex stripped of sentiment. For adults only, with some disturbing truths about female sexuality. 224 page paperback. $12 NOW £3


67361 LEWD LIMERICKS by Michael Horgan Firstly, a note for the unwary: “Some verses contained in this book / Contain four-letter words, such as f**k / They’re rude and they’re lewd / They’re not for the prude / So if that upsets you, don’t look!” In what has to be the perfect small book for the smallest room here are 240 of the rudest, crudest, smuttiest, most vulgar and, naturally, the funniest and wittiest limericks you are ever likely to encounter. As they say, “A limerick a day keeps the blues at bay” - actually we just made that one up! 128pp paperback. £5.99 NOW £3


67435 EROTICISM IN POMPEII


by Antonio Varone Messalina, wife of the emperor Claudius, was famous for her sexual appetite, spending nights in a brothel taking on all comers and being the last to depart. According to the Roman poet Martial in one of his famously scurrilous epigrams, a


woman gets greater pleasure from the man who is peeping in at the door than from her partner. Coitus from behind is a frequent motif in a variety of sexual pairings. Threesomes and foursomes are depicted, and the famous Warren Cup from the House of Menander shows two men engaging in athletic sodomy, witnessed by a slave at the door. Banquets and theatrical performances were opportunities for sexual encounters in a relaxed atmosphere, while religious festivals such as the Bacchanalia or the Floralia were dedicated to fertility and frenzy. By contrast, images of the phallus on shop signs and street corners had no erotic meaning but were there for superstitious purposes. 115pp, over 100 reproductions, most in colour, line drawings, inscriptions. $30 NOW £10

66934 DAYS OF THE COUGAR by Liz Earls


Since losing 100 pounds at age 40, quitting her job and embarking on a career as an erotic photographer, Earls has documented her sexual experiences with dozens of men. She speculates that a woman who has as much sex as she does - four to six times a day with multiple partners - creates an aura that draws new men to her. It seems to be true, as Days of the Cougar graphically illustrates in over 250 photographs of Earls seducing men from 19 to 32 years of age. Graphic colour and b/w photos, accompanied by diary entries, e-mails, and text messages shared with her eager prey. Sexy, shocking, and surprisingly loving. 320 pages.

67953 CITY OF SIN: London and Its Vices by Catharine Arnold


London has always seen attractive young women in demand together with smooth-skinned lads, pretty boys, effeminates, pederasts, singing and dancing girls, quacks, belly dancers and sorceresses which we are going to read about in this volume. A 12th century monk, Richard of Devizes, warned that ‘every quarter [of the city] abounds in great obscenities’. The popular historian Catharine Arnold explores the city’s relationship with vice from the brothels of Londinium to the Molly houses and pornographic Fleet Street publishers of the 17th and 18th centuries. She introduces us to buxom strumpets, louche aristocrats, popinjay politicians and Victorian flagellants in a fascinating and vibrant chronicle of London at its most raw and ribald. 372pp in paperback. £7.99 NOW £5


68274 EROTICA: Drawings by Jean Cocteau Born in 1889, Jean Cocteau is regarded as one of France’s greatest men of arts and letters. The majority of the drawings in this volume are homosexual, obsessional, worshipful and sexually explicit and could not have been published in his lifetime. Cocteau’s models came from a variety of backgrounds, some casual pick- ups, others lovers and friends, and among those represented here are school friends who influenced his sexual development as well as two of his most famous lovers, the precocious writer Raymond Radiguet and actor Jean Marais. Cocteau also drew many of his distinguished contemporaries including Picasso, Stravinsky, Nijinsky, Apollinaire, Sarah Bernhardt, Isadora Duncan and Mistinguett.

67054 SEXUAL SYMBOLISM: A History of Phallic Worship

64464 IN PRAISE OF THE BACKSIDE


by Hans-Jürgen Döpp Rousseau in his ‘Confessions’: ‘Though buttocks are considered beautiful that are evenly placed, not too high, not uneven as in lame people whose hip-bones are displaced, so they do not stick out


like a bay window; not so large and fat that you could dance on them, but not so skinny and sharp that you could drill holes with them, but rounded, hard, taught, so that they have a pleasing resonance when slapped, smooth and white.’ Sepia erotic photographs, daring woodcuts, salacious drawings and prints, colour plates and historic erotic drawings are boldly presented on every full page plate, one to a page, plus three detailed images on opposite page.

66923 ROSE, C’EST PARIS


by Bettina Rheims and Serge Bramly A dangerous bevy of naked or semi-clad beauties grace this large coffee table book, all in arty mono. Bettina Rheims and Serge Bramly’s Rose, c’est Paris is both a photographic monograph and a feature-length film on DVD. In this multi-layered opus of poetic symbolism, they evoke the City of Light in a completely novel way - this is a Paris of surrealist visions, confused identities, artistic phantoms, unseen manipulation, obsession, fetish, and seething desire. Equal parts erotica, fashion shoot, art monograph, metaphysical mystery, social and cultural archaeology of the French capital, and neo-noir art-house film, Rose, c’est Paris is the steamy tale of twin sisters, known only as B and Rose, and a third principal, the city itself. An abduction leads to a detective story that unfolds in the streets, cafés, cabarets, museums, abandoned factories and grand hotels of Paris. What happened to the missing sister? Was there a plot? Was she really kidnapped? Is she alive or dead? Featuring a host of celebrity figures, including Naomi Campbell, Michelle Yeoh, Monica Bellucci, Charlotte Rampling, Valérie Lemercier, Inès Sastre, Anna Mouglalis, Audrey Marnay, Anthony Delon, Rona Hartner, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Azzedine Alaïa, Louise Bourgoin, and Hélèna Noguerra. 138 minute DVD, 10" x 14", 368 pages.

The text is supported by playful photos of women exposing themselves from 1900 to the present day.

69059 SHOOT YOUR OWN


EROTIC PHOTOGRAPHS by Tom and Wendy Ang Many would regard this as a jolly good excuse for getting up very close to some very beautiful bodies, mostly female, but in fact there is a terrific text alongside covering scene setting, solo pictures, couples, digital tricks, equipment, timing, preparing a room, versatile props, shooting


film in forests and woods, hotel rooms and bathrooms, the use of shadow and light and finally the technical side of computer software, scanning and resources.

68425 AGENT PROVOCATEUR: Soixante-Neuf A Dual-Sided Collection of Erotic Literature edited by Jess Morris


Aimed squarely at the fairer sex, this collection of 26 erotic stories, website posts, extracts, poems and articles can, rather cleverly, be read from either end, depending on your mood. If you are in a pink and fluffy sexy mood, then start from the pink end of the book, but if your sexual thoughts are of decidedly darker nature, then choose the black end - sex kitten or wicked vixen: the choice is yours! The 69th (and, as it turns out, final) birthday of the Countess Vanessa is celebrated by 68 guests in 69 copulatory acts in 69 of the rooms of her immense chateau, and Julia, to all intents and purposes a paragon of hard-working virtue, becomes addicted to the pleasures of the Glory Hole. 288pp with b/w erotic illus, for adults only. £16.99 NOW £6


68448 HOT ROD PIN-UPS II: Gearhead Girls and Dragstrip Dolls by David Perry


Perry creates evocative scenes which convincingly and seductively convey the improbable reality that not only are these gorgeous gals comfortable in rusty roadsters, breakers’ yards, cluttered chop shops, dusty dry lake beds or


deafening dragstrips, but that there is nowhere else on earth they would rather be. In addition to the 140-odd stunning colour photos there are commentaries by respected hot rod scribes Tony Thacker, Chris Shelton and Kevin Thomson, The Exception to the Rule, an all- new short story by prolific US noir author Jim Nisbet, and Charles Verne’s The Rat Race, a 1955 pulp chestnut dusted off especially for this volume. As outstanding a piece of visual Americana as you are ever likely to clap eyes on, with fifties US cars and very sexy all-American girls. Colour, 144pp, 11¼”×9½”. £25 NOW £9


44509 FANNY HILL : Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland


Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, better known as Fanny Hill, is one of the most notorious texts in English literature. As recently as 1963 an unexpurgated edition was the subject of a trial, yet in the eighteenth century John Cleland’s open celebration of sexual enjoyment was a best selling novel. Fanny’s story, as she falls into prostitution and then rises to respectability, takes the form of a confession that is vividly coloured by copious and explicit physiological details of her carnal adventures. 112pp. Paperback. ONLY £2

BRA: A Pop-Up Book by Cheree Berry

with one hand as published in Men’s Health magazine, 1997. Here a New York graphic designer unhooks details of the bra from the invention, through the twenties into the 21st century and beyond. Popping up from the book is a conical shaped device with real long pink ribbon. Flat as a pancake in the 20s (pancakes pop up from the book). Here the graphic designer has coupled her factual text with teacups, egg cups, coffee cups and a bright shiny sports cup. Luxurious silk, satin, taffeta and lace bras hit the market by the 30s making women feel sexy and like the sirens of the silver screen. By the 40s we went pointed, the 50s twin peaks (yes, they lift from the pages), 50s advertising, bouncing and burning in the 60s, skating in the 70s, sexiness in the 80s, cones and points again (from Madonna), to the cleavage of the Wonderbra and beyond.

FICTION


Truth is always duller than fiction. - Piers Paul Read


69413 ISLAND OF THE


SWANS by Ciji Ware Jane Maxwell, (1749-1812), the fourth Duchess of Gordon, was one of the most influential women of her time - a patroness of poet Robert Burns, advisor to King George, painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, and friend to Queen Charlotte, the mastermind behind her husband’s political success and a rival of the now much more famous Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. In this


meticulously researched tale of passion and intrigue, rich in historical detail, the author paints a fascinating portrait of one of the most celebrated and controversial beauties of 18th century England. Spirited and charming, Jane captured the heart of her childhood sweetheart, Thomas Fraser, while her beauty caught the eye of his rival, Alexander, Duke of Gordon. Torn between duty and love, Jane was thrust into a lifelong love triangle that would threaten to destroy all she held dear. This bestselling romantic novel cum biography should carry a warning: ‘Do not start unless you want to be up all night!’ 581 paperback pages with family trees. £8.99 NOW £3


69423 WICKED COMPANY by Ciji Ware


Praised by the Literary Times as ‘exciting, entertaining and enlightening’, here is a fascinating portrayal of London’s theatrical milieu. In the 18th century, the glamorous Drury Lane and Covent Garden theatres were all the rage, beckoning every young actor and playwright with the lure of fame and fortune. But competition and back-biting between theatre


owners, patrons, actors and writers left aspiring playwrights with their work stolen, profits withheld and reputations on the line. For a woman, things were harder still, as the chances of a ‘petticoat playwright’ getting past the government censor were slim. In this exciting and cutthroat world, Sophie, a young woman with a talent for writing and an ambition to see her work performed, could lose all in the blink of an eye. Can she possibly succeed? 609 paperback pages with street map, list of historical characters and list of fictional characters. £11.99 NOW £4


69517 FIRE IN THE BLOOD by Irene Nemirovsky By the author of Suite Francaise and here fluently translated by Sandra Smith is a mesmerising gem from the author whose glittering career was cut tragically short. It is the story of Silvio, his cousin’s wife Hélène, her second husband Françoise, and of the truth, death, marriages, children, houses and mills that bind them with love, hatred, deception and betrayal. It is a


magical trip into the heart of the French countryside and the book explores how introverted rural French people conceal dark incidents in their past. ‘Every character in the story bounds into life.’ 153pp in paperback. £7.99 NOW £4

by Rebecca Ann Collins In an intriguingly plotted sequel, the lives of favourite characters leave the reader riveted to each page as a disaster at Rosings unearths long- hidden secrets. As we already know from Pride and Prejudice, Charlotte Lucas and her husband Mr


Collins have very different personalities and temperaments and now so do their daughters - sisters Catherine Harrison and Becky Tate. Both grew up in the shadow of Rosings Park, domain of the formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh, but, as adults, their paths have diverged dramatically. When a catastrophe at Rosings Park brings Becky back to visit her sister, the
