THE GOOD SHIP VENUS

Here is the bizarre and flamboyant story of the Olympia Press and Maurice Girodias, the 'Prince of Porn'. He was a publisher of books that no-one else dared to handle. Who else would publish titles like White Thighs, Bottoms Up, the Lions of Amon, the Whipping Club, and more. He also published Lawrence Durrell, Henry Miller, and many other contemporary authors. A fine job of literary research. Out of Print. Condition: Fine Minus. Bumped corners with some small creases. Cover and edge wear with some staining to front and back cover.
