A Vintage 1948 Edition Paperback Book (measures 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" [11 x 17 cm]; 181 pages) (Learn More) Beggar's Choice, the 1947 George Axelrod cook chauffeur sexploitation novel ("He could make the tastiest cheesecake"). Note that author George Axelrod is the same George Axelrod who later became very famous with his screenplay for The Seven Year Itch, and he wrote other screenplays as well! Important Added Info: Note that this book is the 1948 edition of the 1947 book. Note that this is one of a collection of 33 sexploitation paperback books from the 1950s and 1960s from a new collection we were recently consigned (see below for more), and are auctioning in 33 separate auctions. These are from the repressed 1950s and 1960s, from the days when "respectable" people had few outlets for non-traditional sexual desires, and these "sleaze" paperbacks covered those subjects in depth! They always had lurid covers, and they were often sold "under the counter" (where you had to ask for them). The sexual revolution of the late 1960s made these books pretty irrelevant, but they are a fascinating reminder of repressed sexual attitudes of the 1960s! In 2018, we were consigned a collection of around 300 of these books, and we auctioned them from then until 2021. Now we have been consigned a new collection that we will be auctioning every four weeks, with around 30 in each auction. There is only one of each title, so if you don't purchase a specific book, don't expect to see it again, because there is not another example of it in this collection! Condition: very good.
