Who has not, at some stage of their lives, come across one of those scandalous, tattered paperbacks, much-thumbed and dog-eared with lurid titles such as 'Humping, Pumping Family' or 'Anal Planet' and yet more lurid cover illustrations? After years of being buried under mattresses or hidden at the back of bookcases, they are finally making a joyful, uninhibited comeback.

A sure-fire, not to be missed, cult classic, Young Lusty Sluts is a wealth of 70's and 80's American erotic pulp fiction book-covers and text extracts, collected in a fine volume which is in turn both arousing and amusing.

Ranging from deeply offensive to outrageously camp, from political incorrectness on a scale never previously encountered to side-splitting and entirely unintentional humour, these books are a well-hidden treasure of Western culture.

Bibliophile Michael R Goss has put together this superb selection of 'pulp friction' cover art from his own collection of books from the Golden Age of American pornographic literature, circa 1970-1990. While perhaps not the sort of book that will grace every coffee table, this is a sexy, amusing look at a little-known genre and a valuable reference, listing around 200 different titles.
