The Venus Library

An Annotated Bibliography

History of the Imprint

In around early 1969, Barney Rossett, owner of Grove Press, made a deal with Kable News, a prominent book and magazine wholesaler, to introduce a new line of paperback erotica which would have a more mass market appeal than the existing Grove Press list published under the Black Cat and Zebra imprints. The idea was to bring in a new revenue source for Grove while making sure that a reasonable quality was maintained, particularly compared with the flood of cheap and poorly printed products from publishers like Continental Classics. So the Venus Library was born . Rossett  intended that rare and scarce works from the days of  censorship would thus reach a wider market. and the first half dozen or so titles certainly fitted that category.

Kable News had a different perspective – they required quantity – eight new titles a month and were prepared to provide funding to Grove to ramp up production. Grove certainly needed the money but there was a problem. Since the relaxation of book censorship in the USA and round the English speaking world in the middle sixties quite a bit of old erotica had been republished, much of it by Grove Press itself, but also by other publishers like Brandon House. Maurice Girodias had moved his Olympia Press to New York so his backlist was not available. While Rossett began to commission new works this was necessarily a slow process, and Kable News pressed ever harder for output.    

There was only one quick solution – fill out the range by republishing work from other publishers disguised with new titles and authors. As all pornography was written under pseudonyms anyway, inventing more was no problem. It appears that Rossett approached authors directly and made the necessary deals. Thus Geoffrey Wagner, whose most well known pseudonym was P N Dedeaux, had most of his output published under the Venus imprint only a year or so after the work first appeared in Essex, Greenleaf and Taurus Press. 

By far the biggest contributor to the project was Paul Little. Little was one of the most prolific pornographers of all time with a specialty for flagellation and discipline erotica. His pen provided over forty titles, most of which content had already appeared with other publishers in the three years before the Venus Library.

Despite these efforts the production could not meet Kable requirements, Rossett was obliged to clear his debts with Kable News by handing over the imprint. Kable News continued to publish the series but eventually tired of the project and sold it to Girodias who reinvented the imprint under the name Venus Freeway Press.

This bibliography is essentially a work in progress. For many of the titles no source has been found and in many cases no reprints have been found. It may be that some of the titles found their first printing in the Venus Library, but many of them were likely “taken” from other publishers not yet identified. Contributions from readers who can throw further light on these titles will be most welcome and fully acknowledged in future updates.

Where possible the true author is identified in square brackets after the nominal author.

This bibliography has been prepared with the help of several people, but special thanks are due to Patrick Kearney, publisher of the Scissors & Paste bibliographic web site. http://scissors-and-paste.net/ and the author of several works of erotic bibliography, who kindly provided me with his own research and has encouraged the project.

Much use has also been made of the “bible” of early erotic bibliography : Peter Mendes, Clandestine Erotic Fiction in English 1800-1930,Scolar Press, London, 1993.

V1001. — Anon. — M. Fontaine’s Establishment. 1969. Pp. 151. $1.75.

Originally published as M. Fontaine Establishment (London & New York: Privately printed for Erotica Biblion Society, 1932.).

V1002. – Luis de V*****. – La Tarantula; an erotic tale of Spain. 1969. Pp. 159. $1.75.

A reprint of an American erotic novel published originally in 1934 with the imprint ‘Seville: Printed privately for the accredited sub­scribers of the Sociedad Erotico of Madrid [by] Herando y ca’.

V1003. — Tiffany Boots. — Five Men. 1969. Pp. 144. $1.50.

Chapters 1 and 2 are selections from a work titled Tales of Brigitte. Whether this is the same work as Tales of Villa Brigitte, a two volume novel published at Paris in 1910, is uncertain. Five Men is a reprint of an American work originally published c. 1930 with the imprint ‘London [New York]: Royal Press, 1905.’ The book was illustrated with “twenty copper plates” which were not in­cluded in the Venus Library edition, and may have been published by the Miller brothers who were well-known New York pornographers.

V1004. — Anon. — The Altar of Venus, wherein a late mem­ber of the House of Lords has given the true history of his erotic life. 1969. Pp. [vi]+244. $1.75.

A reprint of an American work first published, probably by the Miller brothers, with the imprint ‘London: The Anglo Esoterical Society, 1934.’ It had Illustrations signed ‘George Le Compte’, an artist who may also have signed himself ‘Jacques Merd.’ These il­lustration were not included in the Venus Library reprint.

V1005. — Anon. — John Krugge: The Autobiography of an Old Man in Search of an Orgasm. 1969. Pp. 127. $1.75.

A reprint of an American erotic work originally published with the imprint ‘London: Two hundred and ten copies published for the gentlemen at the Boar’s Head [c. 1930].’ It was illustrated “with fifteen unusual decorations by Cyril Saxon” which are not included in the Venus Library reprint. The publisher of the origi­nal edition may have been Samuel Roth who, in the 1940s and 50s, had an imprint called Boar’s Head Books.

V1006. – A. Cantab. – Two Flappers in Paris. 1969. Pp. 121. $1.25.

A reprint of a pornographic novel originally published at Paris c. 1920 with the imprint ‘Paris: Isidore Liseux, Passage Cholseul [sic], no. 19.’ Uncle Jack inveigles  the two flappers, Nora and Evelyn, to let themselves go in Paris – even the whippings are fun!

V1007-K. – Marcus van Heller [John Stevenson]. – Adam and Eve. 1971. Pp. 231. $1.75.

A reprint of a novel first published in 1961 by the Olympia Press, Paris, as the third volume of their Ophir Books series.

V1008. – [George Reginald Bacchus]. – Pleasure Bound Afloat.

Whether Pleasure Bound Afloat was published at all in the Venus Library series is not certain. I’ve been unable to find any repository copies, or copies offered for sale, but there are unverifiable reports that it was, and occupied the series number V1008. Since no other work has been located with this number I am leaving the rumour in place. Pleasure Bound Afloat was originally published at Lon­don in 1908 by, posthumously, Leonard Smithers who had died while the book was being printed.

V1009. – Bruce Abbot [Robert Sewell]. – The Sign of the Scorpion. An Erotic Mystery story. 1970. Pp. 223. $1.95.

An abridgement of The Devil’s Advocate, an erotic novel originally published in Chicago in 1942 under the pseudonym ‘Wood C. Lamont. ’

V1010. – Mary Suckit. – Yvonne, or, the adventures and in­trigues of a French governess with her pupils. 1970. Pp. 143. $1.45.

A work of complex pedigree. One authority proposes that it is a translation of a French work called Yvette ou l’institutrice per- vertie, the first edition of which has not come down to us, and the earliest versions known to us are translations into English (1898) and German (1900), both printed in Paris. The earliest known French version appeared in 1908. An alternate possibility is that the English text of 1898 came first, the French and German ver­sion being translation of that.

V1011. — Anon. — School life in Paris & lovely nights of young girls. 1970. Pp. 286. $1.75.

Reprints of two Victorian pornographic works. School Life in Paris was first published at Paris in 1897, possibly by Charles Car­rington. Lovely Nights of Young Girls was originally published by Auguste Brancart in 1891 under the title Tit-Bits, Served up, Sea­soned and Prepared for Amatory Feasts. Subsequent printings ap­peared as Lovely Nights of Young Girls, Served up, Seasoned and Prepared for Amatory Feasts. The first story comprises a series of letters from Blanche, aged seventeen, who has just been sent to a Paris finishing School, to her cousin Ethel, in England, with whom she had formerly been at school.

V1012. — Anon. — Edith’s strange desire: an erotic mystery story. 1970. Pp. 123. $1.25.

Written in the 1930s in the USA and circulated in Ms. under the title Life is like that. This would appear to be the first printed edition (but see V1074 below). Reprinted in GPVL B-559. The heroine, Edith Calhoun, fantasises about being spanked and forced to have sex with a dominant male and unsurprisingly this is just what she gets in real life. 

V1013-Q. — Anon. — New Ladies’ Tickler or the Adventures of Lady Lovesport and the Audacious Harry. 1970. Pp. 160. $1.45.

     Originally printed by William Dugdale 1866 with a subsequent reprint by Erotica Biblion c1902. Several modern reprints and ebooks available. An epistolary novel with an exchange of letters between Lucy and Emily with sex and flagellation being the main preoccupations.

V1014-Q. — Pierre Latour. — Up in Heaven. Translated by Louis Gaston. 1970. Pp. 160. $1.45.

Allegedly a translation of Aux Anges by Pierre Latour (1907-1976). However, there is no work with this title by Latour listed in the catalogue of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France.

V1015-K. – Gerda Mundinger [Paul Little] – Precocious youth: a study of teen-age sex in America. 1971. Pp. 159. $1.75.

       Pseudo Case studies of teenage sex. Paul Little did a lot of these for Greenleaf under the pseudonym of a fictitious psychiatrist

V1016-K. — Gerda Mundinger [Paul Little] — Partners in Pleasure. 1971. Pp. 160. $1.75.

       Pseudo Case studies. More of the same as V-1015

V1017-K. — Anon. — Experiences of a Country Girl. Two volumes in one. 1971. Pp. 157. $1.75.

An anonymous and expanded version of Experiences of a Country Girl. Strange and very painful confessions of the beautiful slave girl Lucille (New York: Juniper Press, 1938) written by ‘Rhoda Wil­kins.’ The original edition had [24] pages of plates signed ‘L Comte.’ A flagellation novel set in the Midwest where Lucille is sold by her parents to Mr. Raleigh who subjects her to whippings and forced sex alongside his other slave girls

V1018-K. — Alan McClyde. — The Calamities of Jane. [1971.] Pp. 155. $1.75.

‘Alan McClyde’ appears to have originally been a house pseudo­nym for a whole series of French flagellation and bondage novels published in the 1930s. In the 1950’s works using the same pseudonym were published in Paris. This novel is a rewrite of The Misfortunes of Mary by Arnold Kem (pseud). Oceanic Press, Paris 1958. The only change is that Mary O’Connor is now called Jane. This tale starts with Colonel Barrington, a rich English bachelor, acquiring from a local brothel madam a young Irish girl Jane O’Connor in order to give her an education. This “education” is largely sexual to satisfy the colonel’s considerable lusts. Jane is somewhat reluctant and many spankings and whippings are required in order to persuade her  to do her duty. Barrington offers her to his circle of friends, which include various depraved ministers of religion. A couple of new girls, Norah and Evangeline, are introduced to the party, and they, also, require flagellatory encouragement.

V1019-T. — Anon. — The Pleasures of cruelty; being a sequel to the reading of Justine etJuliette by the Marquis de Sade. 1971. Three vols. in one, pp. 53, 71, 68. $1.95.

This has no connection whatsoever to de Sade, but seems first to have been published at London c. 1886, possibly by either Edward Avery or William Lazenby. Peter Mendes in his superb bibliography of clandestine English erotic fiction 1800-1930 was unable to find a copy of the first edition, but surmises the date from clandestine publishers’ catalogues of the period. He suggests that the novel was   “written by one (or more) of the flagellant circle centred around Richard Monckton-Milnes (Edward Bellamy), General Studholm  Hodgson,Swinburne, et al.”

Mendes notes an 1898 reprint published at Paris, and more  interestinglyfor you perhaps one done at New York c. 1930 with the false imprint ‘Paris et London, 1898’; I suspect it was this latter from which the Venus Library edition was taken.

It includes translations of  both books as Volume One and Two.  It is likely that the translation is by Little – it reads like his other translations and we know he was very literate in both French and German and he was by far the most prolific contributor to that imprint.

The following description is from the ebook edition. “When precocious and inquisitive Jessie is caught in a compromising position with her foster sibling Rene, she, being the most unruly is shown the door. It is no long before she is on the steps of Madame Lafronde’s home for wayward delinquents, young woman of licentious character and looks to match. Seeing that Jessie is slight of frame and young of features she sees an opportunity to earn a not inconsiderable amount of a money from the gentlemen callers that usually drop into her establishment for a diversion or two. It doesn’t take much convincing before Jessie is pretending to be younger than her eighteen years, and even less persuading to provide whatever reasonable service the dirty codgers might require. With Lords and the landed, cads and the discerning, Jessie plays the siren with the wildest of abandons. Her urges even stretch to the other females of the house, partaking in tribadism, stimulation, and gamahuching a plenty. But what will become of her when she becomes the willing and well reward plaything of Monty?”

There was a work published in 1938 that may or may not be re­lated to this Venus Library title: A Lustful female: a study of the female past thirty, her reaction when engaged in the art of love- making and her lustful private life. All of this and more is de­scribed in this volume by a famous author whose name we connot [sic] divulge (London, Eng. [?New York:] 1938).

First openly published edition, a reduced facsimile reprint of the clandestine U.S. original c.1930 edition (dating tentative; based upon internal evidence).

Set during Prohibi­tion, features a scene in which douche-bags filled with liquor are suspended from the ceiling, their hoses within reach of parched (or otherwise) lips so that orgy participants may quench their thirsts while their hungers are being satisfied.

V1095-K. – Ashe Mannix.(P.N. Dedeaux) [Geoffrey Wagner] – The Violated. 1972. Pp. 154. $1.75.

The attribution to Dedeaux is tentative, but stylistic analysis software gives a good match and the plot is the only one which matches the title “Rosie’s Aunt” which is one of the eight Wagner titles mentioned in the papers of Barney Rossett. Given the demands of Kable News for more titles it is highly unlikely to inconceivable that Rossett would have held back a Wagner in his possession. There is a Blue Moon reprint Janet, Librarian, by Ralph Mello, 2000. The tale concerns Janet Westwood, a librarian with masochistic tendencies, and her orphaned niece Rosemary, who are abducted, whipped and violated by a gang of unsavoury characters.
