"Ginzburg studied journalism at the City College of New York, was editor-in-chief of its downtown campus newspaper, and on graduation in 1949 became a copyboy and cub reporter at the New York Daily Compass. Two years later he was drafted into the Army during the Korean War and assigned to Fort Myer, where he edited the post newspaper. While still in the Army, he worked at night as a copy editor for the Washington D. C. Times-Herald. Upon discharge from the Army he shifted into broadcasting and magazines, working for Esquire magazine, NBC, Reader's Digest, Collier's, LOOK and, as he put it, "other pillars of communications industry respectability". He finally saved enough money to rent his own office a fifth floor walkup in an old Manhattan office building. His first publication was An Unhurried View of Erotica (New York: Helmsman Press, 1958). This rather scholarly-seeming book explored an ostensible undercurrent of pornography that runs throughout English literature. Beginning with a manuscript given by Leofric, Bishop of Exeter, to his cathedral in 1070 through the outright pornographic work of the 1950s, An Unhurried View examines examples of English erotic literature in an interpretive and explanatory context. The end of the book includes a bibliography of 100 titles. He convinced the notable psychoanalyst Theodor Reik to write the introduction." Ginzburg was the editor and publisher of the short lived and suppressed quarterly Eros which led to his imprisonment and from that, this biographical piece. Later, he launched Avant-Garde, another quarterly for "People ahead of their time". (from Wikipedia).

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. First Edition. Review copy, with the publisher's slip and two promotional photographs laid in. Playboy was a three-year-old upstart when rival publisher Arnold Gingrich, impressed with his An Unhurried View of Erotica (1958), hired Ginzburg (1929-2006) as an editor at Esquire. "Playboy was a peanut whistle at that time, but it was a comer," recalled Ginzburg, "and they figured that the best way to get rid of the problem was to cut the sex out of Esquire, which, in effect, was self-castration. So that was the end of sex in Esquire; they just gace the field up to Playboy." Eighteen months later, Ginzburg was fired. He moved on to Eros, a high-priced magazine of classy erotica. Only four issues were published before he was indicted on charges of violating federal obscenity laws. Ginzburg was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison (he was released after eight months). A number of First Amendment advocates protested the conviction, including Hefner: "The sustaining of Mr. Ginzburg's conviction by the Supreme Court is an anachronism and a true tragic abrogation of First Amendment freedoms. The true 'victim' in Mr. Ginzburg's case is, unfortunately, the Bill of Rights itself." Octavo. Original black cloth binding, with white and blind-stamped titles. Some light foxing along the extremities. The dust jacket is a trifle edgeworn; otherwise very good.

Hardcover. First edition. 35pp. Thin octavo [23.5 cm] Black cloth covered boards with a white ink stamped title on the spine and a decorative blind stamped title on the covers. Near fine. The edges of the covers are very slightly faded. The dust jacket is in very good condition, with rubbing. The edges are mildly creased and chipped. There is a small chip that turns into a one inch closed tear in the top edge of the rear panel. The rear panel is gently soiled, and the inside flaps are subtly yellowed. Designed by Herb Lubalin. From the jacket- "[Ralph Ginzburg's] first imbroglio stemmed from the publication of Eros, a quarterly on the joys of love and sex that featured erotic works by such masters as Rembrandt, D. H. Lawrence, Picasso, Mark Twain, Michelangelo, Norman Mailer, Ovid, Ray Bradbury, Shakespeare and Robert Burns. Its suppression by the United States Supreme Court led to the imprisonment described in this volume.".
