Before the Dawn of Internet: How did you find banned books?

Before the Dawn of Internet: How did you find banned books?



Dear Folks,

It suddenly occurred to me this morning, that I somehow was able to find banned books at a very tender age.

I mean that these books were banned in the very early 60s, and only in some places.

These books included:

Lady Chatterley’s Lover

Madame Bovary

Fanny Hill: or, the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure

Lolita

And, other great pieces of literature, or....

Pieces, as I like to call them....

I mean, I know that I read them at age 12.

But, for the life of me, I just cannot recall how I obtained them.

Certainly, my mother did not supply them to me, and this is a certainty.

Therefore, is there any member on TV who can tell me how I found them, squirreled them away, and then read them, over and over again….while they became tattered and stained, as they often do?

I really do not know why this thought and question occurred to me this morning.

Still, the mind works in mysterious ways.

I will say that Fanny Hill is one of my all-time favorites, even now.

Thank you for your help, because, as I have said….

I need help.


Best regards,

Gamma
