5.0 out of 5 stars Best reference guide, April 15, 2001

This review is from: Pornography in America: A Reference Handbook (Library Binding)
The book should be used in many college courses; it covers almost every aspect of the subject imaginable and is, I think, a better source for learning the field than even de Grazia's _Girls Lean Back Everywhere_ or Green's _Encyclopedia of Censorship_. The sections on court decisions, legislation, genres, social context and theory, history, and distributors are very strong. There is no other book where one can find so much so coherently organized and lucidly treated.
