Publisher's Synopsis

In this three-volume work that established HENRY SPENCER ASHBEE (1834-1900), British book collector, travel writer and bibliographer, aka Pisanus Fraxi, as England's leading authority on pornography, Ashbee describes scores of "curious, uncommon and erotic books" that were banned or otherwise prohibited from legitimate sale during the Victorian era... and some even until the 1960s. This catalog of mostly forgotten works is an invaluable-and highly entertaining-resource for bibliophiles, students of erotica, and collectors of Victoriana.
