About Erotic Review Books & The Erotic Print Society

Tilly Johnson, Erotic Review Books Secretary, welcomes you

Welcome to Erotic Review Books – formerly The Erotic Print Society – a unique publishing house for erotic fiction, photography, art and sex-guides, and home to The Erotic Review.

HISTORY

The Erotic Print Society was founded in 1994; nine years previously, the Maclean Gallery in London's West End had hosted the first exhibition of historic and contemporary erotic art ever held in this country, entitled Forbidden Images.
The most popular items at this show were erotic prints. Hence Jamie Maclean's idea to set up a publishing company specialising in the production of facsimile erotic prints that were too rare or expensive for the average collector to purchase.
Although initially successful, it soon became clear that the sale of print portfolios alone would not be enough to sustain this fledging business. At the same time we realised there were no publishers committed to the erotic works of contemporary artists and writers. The Society published its first book, with a good deal of amateur cut-and paste-work, in 1996. Now it produces around fifteen titles a year with an erotic theme – prolific, by any publisher's standards. And in 2007, after buying back The Erotic Review - a magazine founded by our company in 1995 – The Erotic Print Society became Erotic Review Books.

MISSION

ER Books' intention is to lift the standards of erotica and sex publishing to a level of sophistication that can be enjoyed by grown-ups, not just 'adults', and by both sexes, not just one. ER Books takes its readers' intelligence seriously. We feel that sex is a subject that merits proper investigation and should not be given the superficial or misogynistic treatment it so often receives. Or be labelled with such careless indifference: today the overlap between erotica and pornography is so great as to call for a redefinition of these two terms. For instance, porn that was demonised yesterday tends to be lauded as erotica today. We think that there's simply good writing about sex and bad. That porn can be either tasteless or acceptable. And that erotica can be either inspiring or dull.

PRINTS

ER Books still sells portfolios of facsimile prints. It uses the highest standards of printing techniques and the most appropriate quality of paper for each edition which can be purchased in elegant card folders or luxury, hand-crafted portfolios for preserving or framing.
