Wet Dreams is an account of the first and second Wet Dream Festivals of pornographic films held at Amsterdam in November 1970 and October 1971. Included in the book is a catalogue of the films shown, together with stills and full credits.
The remainder of the book is taken up with the fringe events at the Festival and is illustrated with some extraordinary photographs of the various activities. There is also a rather unusual photograph purporting to be Ms Germaine Greer in what may only be termed a revealing attitude; this picture is reprinted from Suck Magazine, issued by the same publishers at Amsterdam.
1874. "WHEN A CHILD LOVES AND WHEN SHE HATES". A Tale of Birch and Bed. By a Gentleman. (The title page headed: Social Studies of the Century series.) n.p., n.d. (Paris?

Some of the verses in this motley collection are believed to be by Swinburne; certainly the presence of the volume in the library of T. J. Wise, one of the foremost authorities in his day on Swinburne and his works, would seem to substantiate this. There is another copy, formerly in the collection of Mr. G. Legman, from the Havelock Ellis collection, now in the Kinsey Institute Library. He notes: 'Various similar poems in The Pearl (at no. 1410 ante) are attributed to Swinburne, in particular "Charlie Collingwood's Flogging, by Etoniensis" (No. 3, Sept. 1879), and "Frank Fane - a Ballad" (No. II, May 1880).' P.C. 27.a.35*. (Ashley 4395*).

(Edward Avery, 1887.) 8vo. Publisher's vellum, gilt. A ms note by H. S. Ashbee provides: `1 1/2 guineas. 250 copies. E. Avery publisher, Dec. 1887.' This copy is out of sequence of the limitation. P.C. 31.i.25.

Les Supercheries de Satan is noticed in the supplement to issue 4 of Bulletin Trimestriel (Oct. 28, 1868) edited and published by Auguste Poulet-Malassis. In a note appended to the supplement of the following issue (no. 5, March 8, 1869), Poulet-Malassis gives the name of the author and adds the information that the artist responsible for the illustrations was, like Wicherski, a Pole.

1884. (Another edition.) "Teleny" ... Cosmopoli (Paris?) : 1906. 8vo. Two volumes. pp. 148, 178. No. 67 of 200 copies. Ex-libris C. R. Dawes, with the Dawes Bequest label.

A brief introduction, unsigned (but by Maurice Girodias?), occupies pp. (5-6) and positively ascribes Teleny to Oscar Wilde. The History of Teleny is too well-known to bear repeating here; it is told at length by Carles Hirsch in his Introduction reprinted in the French edition of 1934, and most of this has been translated and published in Phillis and Eberhard Kronhausen's book "Erotic Fantasies" (pp. 143-147) . A summary of what Hirsch relates is also to be found in H. Montgomery Hyde's Introduction to Martin Secker's expurgated text of "Teleny" published in 1966 at London, in the late-lamented Icon series of pocket-books. It remains to say, however, that the French translation, true to its claims on the title page, was prepared from the original manuscript, the events of the story being re-located back to London and the missing Prologue replaced.
1887. WILDMAN, (Eric Arthur). [An enormous collection of exceedingly tedious publications, reproduced from typewriting, issued under the aegis of Wildman's "Corpun Educational Association" and "National Society for the Retention of Corporal Punishment in Schools" during the 1940's and so's.
