A couple of quick notes:

- The latest addition to my Arlington House/Loveline collection is Caroline Bertalot's "How To Drive Your Man Wild In Bed", which is a re-titling of "How To Keep Your Man Happy In Bed". The latter title is quite expensive but I was able to get the former title cheap off ABEBooks.
- Speaking of expensive books, "Personal Pleasures" (topic: female masturbation/self-pleasuring) is selling for close to 1 *THOUSAND* pounds on Amazon.co.uk either new or used :

So keep those books in the best shape you can, they're becoming to become real investments! (I'm afraid my own collection is not museum-grade, I like to read 'em too much. )

The books were mostly published by Colour Library Books from the early 1980's to about 1986, and by Loveline Publishing Ltd. thereafter; several of the last books in the series were published by Magna Books. Most of the titles were published between 1985 and 1988 (inclusive), and a few had more than one edition (Techniques of Making Love, for example, had editions through both Crescent and Arlington House, as well as a German-language edition). As I mentioned, a number of the early Colour Library books didn't have the four-digit catalog numbers, which seem to have started to be added around 1985/1986. There's a three-letter code which identifies the book in question as having been printed by Colour Library or Loveline, as follows:


XLB = Loveline Publishing Ltd.
CLB = Colour Library Books Ltd.

I plan to post snapshots from various individual books later.

Would like to locate a copy of "The Complete Book of Sexual Loving". Believe it was published in 1980's. Had a copy but lost it.
