A few pencil notes wrappers tanned at spine with shallow chips at spine ends; a good copy. A preliminary private version of Herbert 2136 with a special preface re: justification and methodology.

The edition described in Herbert is "tentative" and has a different collation; an earlier partial proof appeared in 1902 see D&M 1348. COPAC locates two copies of the "tentative" edition and OCLC/Worldcat four but both come up empty for this "Private issue." A bibliographic and textual curiosity. HERBERT 2136ref.

193033600np 1930. Oblong 16mo original printed and illustrated wrappers 8pp. Near Fine. <br/><br/> Stella is presented here engaged in graphically illustrated indiscreet behaviors with her dentist. <br/> Tijuana Bibles "were produced by a shadowy criminal underground in the 1930s. Very little hard information is available about how the Bibles were created where they were manufactured and how they were distributed. One certain fact confirmed by numerous anecdotes is that these comic books were for many young men their first peek into the forbidden world of erotic intimacy" Adelman. They were crudely printed and illustrated porn tract-comic books. The skimpy stories featured contemporary movie sports folk political and cartoon characters in absurdly hyperbolic sexual relations. Why they're called Tijuana Bibles is a matter of speculation; 'Tijuana' was typically associated with iniquity and as an outlet for behavior considered impermissible elsewhere. Properly considered the ancestor of America's underground comics Tijuana Bibles declined in popularity in the 1960's as mainstream publications like Playboy would satisfy readers' prurient interests.<br/>Adelman Tijuana Bibles.
