Did you know that
during the sixties and early seventies, some forty tabloids battled for
circulation each week in a war that led to sensationalistic excesses never seen
before or since? Sleazy Business is
the pictorial history of these publications, and Shake Books has gathered
together some one hundred twenty examples of outrageousness which will leave
you surprised, laughing, and yes, even shocked. These tabloids represent the
underbelly of the sensational sixties - twisting the news in everything from
politics to celebrities, the sexual revolution, hippies, gore and violence,
humor, personals, and of course, plenty of sex. Never before has any book
gathered together such a wide array of exploitation tabloids, and even though
they may be gone from the now P.C. newsstands, they remain an important part of
America's mass-media history, and a previously untold story in the long history
of exploitation journalism. So enter this strange world through the eyes of Sleazy Business - A Pictorial History Of
Exploitation Tabloids, 1959-1974, and get ready for a ride that you'll
never forget!
