Especially to mark the 4th of July, please see for your information and delectation, a copy of the very first catalogue of titles issued by the New York incarnation of the Olympia Press. With cover art by Kasoundra, designed by George Ramos, a 30 page list of titles old and new, reproduced here in full, with the added sweetener of a copy of the order form.
This item as with all my books for trade is available to trade against any of my Olympia Press wants, or other rare items of erotica that would compliment this site.
Enjoy.

Love seeing the ‘4th of July’ catalogue again. I had one which proved extremely useful when cataloguing and collecting the New York Olympia Press. Nice presentation.
Thanks for that Pat. I am pondering on how to present books from now on, I am tempted to add in the illustrations but don’t know whether to put them in the listing or link them to a PDF or some such.
Anyway I will try a title out later and see how it looks.
Best wishes Steve

I have a small collection of the publications of the Olympia Press in both New York and London. The highlight is my copy of “The Original Seven Minutes” by ‘JJ Jadway’, Maurice Girodias’ hoax on the Irving Wallace bestseller: “The Seven Minutes”.

Hello Stuart and thank you for confirming that there is life out there, your contribution is most welcome, my personal favourite from the Paris Olympia Traveller’s Companion Series, is “Busy Bodies”by Ed Martin, a minor title with a highly amusing and entertaining plot. Pat K in the bibliography notes, that A novel called “Portrait of Torment”,by Edgar K Martin (which is the name of the copyright on Busy Bodies), was published by Newsstand Library, series no U163in 1961 Cover art by Robert Bonfils.
