| note | This was published years before the First Niter Wee Hours After Hours paperback books now prized. No publisher indicated. Written by Justin Kent, a pseudonym for a witness in an obscenity trial held in New York City in 1955. His real name appears in the book TIMES SQUARE SMUT by Jim Linderman, as well as in government documents. Note price on cover? It is printed. These were sold only in a few bookstores in Times Square and usually had very small print runs (at the time, illegal print runs!) 128 pages. Certainly a key book for a collection of early lesbian literature and a key piece in the Eugene Bilbrew body of work. This DOES NOT appear in the new edition of SinaRama. | ||
