The Illegal Relatives

Frank Moorhouse
Sydney: Frank Moorhouse, 1970.
First Edition.

22cm x 14cm. Unpaginated saddle-stapled newsprint booklet.

Pirated edition of illustrated erotic stories planned as an illegal publication in protest of censorship of the printed word, stemming from a case brought against underground newspaper Thor. The Whitlam government passed legislation that brought an end to the censorship yet the printer of this booklet went ahead with privately selling the publication against Moorehouse’s wishes.

Covers loose from text block, moderate shelf and edge wear. Moderate browning. Signature of Dr. Gary Simes. Fair Condition.
