An Undated (probably late 1950s or early 1960s) Vintage Paperback Book (measures 4 1/4" x 7 1/4" [11 x 18 cm]; 188 pages) (Learn More) Paprika, the 1937 Erich von Stroheim gypsy sexploitation book ("Her love was hot... Pepper hot!"; "No man could resist the shameless gypsy trollop - no man wanted to!"; "Wild escapades - wild revels - wild bodies...!"). Note that this was a novel written by legendary director Erich von Stroheim (described on the back cover as the "greatest director in cinema realism"). He wrote it in 1937, and someone decided to resurrect it as a sexploitation sleaze paperback in the late 1950s or early 1960s! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a collection of 24 sexploitation paperback books from the 1950s and 1960s, which we were consigned, and are auctioning in 24 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! Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the page with the publishing information, and the back cover. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
