Found images for these awesome gay books from the 1950's. Does anyone here have any?

Love the covers. I don't know anything about the others, but Don Holliday was a pseudonym used by pioneering gay writer Victor J. Banis for his Man From C.A.M.P. series -- according to Wikipedia, the first gay mystery series -- as well as by other writers of gay pulps. Blow the Man Down is part of the Man From C.A.M.P. series. Banis stopped writing for publication in 1980 but started up again after the 2004 publication of his memoir Spine Intact, Some Creases: Remembrances of a Paperback Writer.

I love old porn books. I used John Preston (RIP) as a guide for several purchases. Something sexy to me thinking of Clay Cadwell etc. pounding these out before I was born.

 

These look great, I want them all.

Where did you find them? I love stuff like that.

 

I want them now please.

eBay has quite a selection of Don Holliday books ... some gay, some straight. Interesting!

Very cool. Thanks for posting those.

I didn't have these particular paperbacks, but did have quite a collection at one time. I gave them all away... no more room and was moving at the time. Lots of fond memories reading them and getting very stimulated.... Thanks for sharing.

I found this interesting web site that has many different publications. Can sign up for free.

Escorts scrubbed clients' backs back then?

 

I was curious about gay erotica in that period, the wording of the stories and so on. Wonder what it is about Five Fags that's making people pay $160 for it versus $19.99 for Fritz and the Frenchman below.

 

"This is a nightstand book." LOL.

Escorts, have you ever fantasized about going to an outcall and having this man open the door?

seeing as most of my clients were almost always asian; yes, that would have been a dream come true

Good god talk about memory lane. At one time or another I owned almost all of those books. About fifteen years ago I decided to get get of them all. I called gay libraries and books stores here in the L.A. area and also in the Bay area and none were interested having them. I was more than willing to donate them but they simply were not interested under any circumstances. Thus I threw them all in the trash -- my how times change.
