It's good, but Flipper's not in it. It's good, but Flipper's not in it.

Covers press from the US, UK, and France. There's a brief essay and discussion of the selections at the end, but less original information than I had expected. The same authors' Sex Press: The Sexual Revolution in the Underground Press, 1965-1975 is more interesting, although I suppose that depends on the individual.
