Blue Period by Nicholas Whittaker
A revealing account of the author's years in the offices of two soft-porn magazines. It describes encounters with crank callers, models, postboys, readers' wives, saucy crossword compilers and sex-publishing barons. It aims to demystify the glamour and sleaze surrounding the soft-porn industry.
