I have NOT read this book. However, I've heard the author - Robert Rosen - in several interviews, and his book sounds extremely interesting.
It's about Mr. Rosen's experiences working in the porn industry. It's also about the people, places, and events of that era.
I don't know if the book is illustrated.
This book should appeal to anyone that loves GRINDHOUSE era movies, books, and periodicals.
