Eileen was the amateur — Lily was all pro! The Unexpurgated Truth About Women Of The Slums. Will Shock Some — And Shame Others!

From the back:

MUST every girl fall victim to the tawdry evils of the city jungles? Are there no defenses against dope and liquor — the blandishments of procurers — the pawings of young punks? With shocking realism, this novel depicts the degrading lives of young women caught up in squalor and immorality, whose only hope is to be cleansed by their own sins…

Here is the story of Eileen Carter, a blossom among the weeds—and of Lily, buxom Lily, who turned pro and was proud of it. Brutal Tom Dolan plucked the blossom, then traded on her lush beauty, which was perfect bait for the rich boys from across the tracks. What Eileen could not handle, the indefatigable Lily accommodated… For both girls meant to squirm out of the slum, to climb high at any cost! All the more bitter that at the top of their climb, they tumbled back into the depths where twisted men waited to exploit female flesh …!

Bound to disturb the self-righteous, PLEASURE ALLEY will come as a revelation to all who believe that “nice” girls cannot succumb to indecency!

Two Women Sharing A Love That Was Unnatural

A Vivid And Searching Novel Of Forbidden Love In The Twilight World Of The Third Sex

From the back:

Allison Loved Lydia

She loved her so much that sometimes she thought it was wrong. Human beings weren’t supposed to love each other so much. There must be something sinful about a love so strong it blotted out everything else, including decency and self-respect.

Lydia was Allison’s whole life … until one night she went to a wild bohemian party … and met Cal Staton. Could she pull herself out of the pit of unnatural love? Cal Staton was a man – and men had hurt her so much. Perhaps she would be better off forgetting him and staying with Lydia. Lydia, who turned the world away when she took her in her arms. Lydia, who could make her melt with a glance … climb to the peaks of ecstasy with a caress.

Later reprinted as The Delicate Vice

Naked Nurse

She admired his skill in surgery; and his lust in bed

From the back cover:

Seductive Female Vitality… In every movement of this beautiful white-capped student nurse

Dr. Bill Forsythe — Young handsome society doctor, who preys on rich neurotic women to further his career!

Lynn — Whose strange practices traps Sally in a bed of warped immorality!

Dr. Harry Martin — Brilliant resident surgeon, who always took time-out, for a little love play.

I get the impression that whoever wrote this copy did not speak English as his first language.

On camera they violated the Code of Decency. Off camera they violated each other.
