8vo. Two volumes. 401pp, 416pp. 1000 copies printed on velin blanc. One of the milestones of erotic bibliography. Perceau's work "is a model of bibliographical perfection that has reduced at least one later worker to near-despair of ever being able to emulate it. Superbly organised, for all normal purposes complete, and possessing no few than eight indexes (titles, authors, editions, statistics, reprints, library and private collectors' holdings, imprints, and names), this is an indispensable tool of research" (Peter Fryer, 'Private Case, Public Scandal', pp. 68-9).
