| Item Description: | Cover title. Black cover. Parody of Mary Livingstone, an American radio comedian and actress. She was the wife and radio partner of comedian Jack Benny. Tijuana bibles, also known as eight-pagers or dirty little books, were small eight-page publications of cartoon erotica and pornography that became popular during the 1930s and 1940s. The term "Tijuana bibles" was first noted in Southern California in the late 1940s and refers to the apocryphal belief that they were manufactured and smuggled across the border from Tijuana, Mexico. The Cushing Library/Women & Gender Studies copy was acquired as part of the Antonio C. LaPastina and Dale Rice Collection. |
