Thanks for some wonderfully reminiscent descriptions of the London magazine shops - really takes you back.
There was a downside to the 'half-back' exchange policy, though - invariably pages would have been surreptitiously removed, making the magazines rather thinner than when they were originally published. Some peculiar stains, too! There was a similar shop on Wandsworth Road, near the junction with Lambourn Road - Excel Books, I think it was called. Much the same as all the others, except that it had a pretty graphic window display. Long since disappeared, sadly. |

Bonus Books and others
Great thread. For me the 1980's revolved around getting a fix of porn from a "secondhand bookshop". My introduction was Bonus Books in Plymouth. No sign of porn till you asked "any Rustler?" and a pile was pulled from literally under the counter for your inspection. By the way this was the UK softcore Rustler - I never asked about hardcore.
That was to be found in Birmingham where at least two shops had a decent collection of Rod*x and realated titles, plus Private and Pleasure. These were golden years - I can't describe the excitement of choosing a title (the mags were always sealed) and getting it home to see what was inside. In later years a move to London resulted in trips to the shops near Kings Cross (videos too!). I seem to remember mags were £10 and videos £20 with half back on exchange. Getting sneak peeks of the content of the mags on the train home was all part of the thrill. And then the internet happened. |

Birmingham Rag Market and the Outdoor Market next door. Quite a little gold mine.
Mid teens and milling through the outdoor market one Saturday morning - a busy place - when I spied a box of 70s mags (Playbirds, Rustler etc) on a stall full of bric-a-brac and dived in. Picked out four or five and asked the woman "how much?" She looks at me blankly and then turns to her side and in a VERY loud yells out "Oi, Rene! How much are the pornos?" |

I used to buy most of my porn in shops like these. There was one in Nottingham I used to pop into when passing up or down the M1, as it always had a good selection of spanking mags. There were wrapped, of course, so you had to study the covers to see which looked to be the best purchase. It is a shame that they have nearly all disappeared.

I used to visit the local bookshop about once a month for my reading fix. Now I have an E-reader and over 10,000 books in my library I no longer need to. This is fortunate because they all seem to have disappeared in my area. Probably due to E-readers.
