Excellent monograph on two important publishers / traders of pornography (clandestine sex books, photos) in Amsterdam in the 1930s. Illustrated with photos and reproductions (book covers, erotic magazines, etc.). With bibliography and index.

Based on research into police reports and reports of confiscated publications that were considered 'offensive to decency' by the Amsterdam vice squad, a story emerges about two boys with a fancy name and a great entrepreneurial spirit, which also provides an insight into the international trade in - and suppliers of - pornographic literature in Europe.

¶ Indispensable guide for antiquarians, collectors of and those interested in erotica and porn (collectors items) from the early 20th century and the interbellum.
