Authentic "Tijuana Bible". Undated (c 1935). 3 X 4 3/8 inches. Miniature stapled booklet featuring erotic parody of Hairbreadth Harry. Wraparound / one-piece tan cover. Two color printing to cover image (red and black) indicating first printing / edition (since color wasn't picked up by the later pirated editions). Also indicating first edition is the extremely sharp, vivid printing of the internal art and the ornate page borders. 12-pages (including covers). Of the two back pages--apparently by the same artist as the title story--one shows a position with a paragraph of straightforward text (possibly from the Kama Sutra or the like), illustrated in a lively, happy Tijuana Bible style. / Some corrosion to staple. Light speckling to cover. Pages very slightly tanned but supple. Very difficult to find originals of these. No AMA Text unmarked. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Slight shelf-wear and bumping to corners. Illustrator: unknown. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 12 oz. Category: Comics, Graphic Novels::Tijuana Bibles, 8-Pagers; Inventory No: 021350.
