“ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SEXUAL KNOWLEDGE" by A. Costler MD & A. Willy, MD
This is a phenomenal 1937 publication that is exactly what the title suggests -- plete guide to sexual health, published for the layman. Covers "healthy living" in all its aspects, for men and women, with chapters devoted to such topics as "the Sins of Youth" "the Consequences of Masturbation" and so on. Since it is 80 years old, much of the so-called "medical" advice is really just thinly-disguised moralizing, reflecting all the fascinating ideas & prejudices of the era! A fascinating look at relations between the sexes, puberty, growing up, birth control, venereal diseases, and married life from generations ago! I've scanned plete Table of Contents, so you can see what is covered. A great reference for the historian, or anyone who enjoys reading pretty outrageous health advice! Fascinating reading!
This edition was published by The Eugenics Publishing Company of New York City! It is hardcover, bound in brown stiff-paper boards, with embossed title in gold on spine. It is somewhat larger format, measuring about 6 x 9 inches, and is 544 pages, plus 60 pages of b&w plates at the back -- mostly anatomical drawings of what is described in the text. It is in quite good condition -- a former owner's name stamped inside a few times, and the back cover is just beginning to split away from the spine, but it is still holding together well and if you are gentle with it, it should be no problem. Otherwise, the book is clean, all pages present, no writing or staining, clean cover, etc. Overall, a solid copy of a fascinating and quite rare book.
