Only Skin Deep by George Kimball

In 1968, under pressure from the De Gaulle regime and encouraged by recent U.S. Supreme Court Decisions, the legendary French pornographer Maurice Girodias relocated his famed Olympia Press from Paris to New York. The first titles published under the new Ophelia imprint included J.P. Donleavy's The Ginger Man, Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg's Candy, and Only Skin Deep, a hilarious satire on the genre by 24-year-old George Kimball.

Only Skin Deep is a vicious and intolerable mockery of the whole filth industry.

-Hunter S. Thompson

The only book I've ever read that had sticky pages.

-Joe Flaherty
