The Blue Book
Benedict, Brad (Ed.). Indigo Books, 1983 (3rd Printing). Softbound. The naughty bits are busting out of Mick Haggerty's plain brown wrapper–inspired cover to this collection of cheeky erotica. Haggerty, who created culture-shaping album covers for everyone from Supertramp to the Go-Go's, also contributes several bondage-themed pieces here, alongside Gary Panter, Mel Odom, Jean-Paul Goude, Russ Meyer (his musical broadside 'Bosomania' ends with the line, 'And I mean watermelons!"), and many others. The book's playful design is by former teen idol and Eleanor Rigby sculptor Tommy Steele.
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some bumped corners, light edge-wear, and a very small indentation affecting the back cover and last few pages, but no other notable wear. 96 pp. Art.
