Exciting book history from De dwaalende hoer [The wandering whore] from 1677, for which publisher and bookseller Timotheus ten Hoorn had to report to the rear admiral because of the scabious illustrations, through forbidden 'dirty books' that were only sold under the counter, to publications such as Chick (1968-2009), Candy (1968-2016), Big Boobs, Cocky and countless other sex magazines.

¶ With contributions from experts such as Inger Leemans, Marita Mathijsen, Th. van Os, Jos van Waterschoot and Bert Sliggers on the heyday of Dutch pornography, with a focus on themes such as pornographic comics, gay-erotica and colonialism. Indispensable reference work for erotica collectors and antiquarians.
