First edition of David Reuben's wildly popular sex manual, one of the first sex manuals to enter mainstream culture. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Lawrence Ratzkin. Jacket photograph by Arthur Shay. One of the first sex manuals to enter mainstream culture in the 1960s, David Reuben's Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) had a profound effect on sex education and in liberalizing attitudes towards sex. It was the most popular non-fiction book of its era and in 1972 it was parodied by Woody Allen in the comedy film of the same name. Favorably reviewed by the New York Times and Life Magazine, the book retained its position as #1 on the New York Times bestseller list for 55 weeks, making Reuben a veritable celebrity.
