Revealing and Chuckle Generating
A very revealing view of the soft porn industry in the UK in its "glory days". It shows that there were big profits to be made, but that the office floor workers were in a grim and downtrodden position. The author reveals how he made up letters for the mags and this and other stories are very funny. This is a good book to take on holiday with you and have a chuckle on the beach. If you liked Platform Souls by the same author you will like this.
