Some of the books listed below are marked adult. In some cases, this may be a true description of the contents based on current standards. In other cases, you will find that they contain less explicit scenes and language than may be found on any episode of Desperate Housewives. (I don't let my small children view either of these shows by the way). I cannot read each book, so if they were ever marked as adult, I have carried forward that marking in this listing. If you are looking for hardcore pornography, do not order these books as you will probably be disappointed. Also do not order if you are under 18, or if these books may be illegal in your jurisdiction. You must state (and sign) that you are 18 or older to purchase anything marked as adult.
