First Edition. Very Good condition in very good unclipped dust jacket. In 1968, Al Goldstein and Jim Buckley each invested $175 to launch Screw, a weekly New York sex tabloid that seems almost forgotten now, but was arguably the most important adult publication since Playboy. Featuring news, movie reviews, massage parlour ads and – most significantly – hardcore pictures, Screw was years ahead of its time. The magazine and Goldstein were busted on obscenity charges nineteen times, eventually winning a major test case in 1974. This books contains “The very best material from America’s new/shocking breakthrough newspaper”.
