This video discusses the early 1960s Chicago based publisher "Novel Books." Novel Books produced some very strange and interesting vintage sleaze books, and this video presents a few of them. I've always thought Novel Books was one of the under-appreciated presses. Their titles were fascinatingly strange, over-the-top, and pumped up macho.

FringePop is a showcase for uncommon and esoteric cultural artifacts. The focus is on unusual items from both popular and fringe culture, with an emphasis on subversive pieces. The items shown are from the author's personal collection, unless otherwise noted.
I am a pop culture buff and collector, who focuses on the odd, subversive, and fringe elements of Western culture. In 2005, I edited a book for Feral House called "Sin-A-Rama: Sleaze Sex Paperbacks of the Sixties." The vintage oddities in my collection include victoriana, sideshow, medical, and kitsch. I am also an amateur sewer, making clothing from vintage mod patterns.
