Standard work with overview of over three centuries of porn industry in the Netherlands. Illustrated with photos and reproductions of covers and title pages in colour and black and white. With bibliography and register. Text in Dutch. Bound edition.

Exciting book history from De dwaalende hoer [The wandering whore] from 1677, for which publisher and bookseller Timotheus ten Hoorn had to report to the rear admiral because of the scabious illustrations, through forbidden 'dirty books' that were only sold under the counter, to publications such as Chick (1968-2009), Candy (1968-2016), Big Boobs, Cocky and countless other sex magazines that were available at newspaper- and cigar shops in editions of over 100,000 copies.

¶ Indispensable reference work for erotica collectors and antiquarians. With contributions from experts such as Inger Leemans, Marita Mathijsen and Bert Sliggers on the main heyday of Dutch porn, with a focus on themes such as pornographic comics, gay erotica and colonialism in pornography. Never before has such a complete and richly illustrated overview of Dutch pornography been published.
