BEDSIDE READING FOR THE CURIOUS

First came the groundbreaking Le Scat Noir Encyclopaedia in 2017. Three years later we launched the pataphysical classic Le Scat Noir Encyclopédie et Dictionnaire de la Pataphysique, des arts et du savoir humain: Volume Deux (in English of course). Today we’re pleased to announce a handy reference destined to become a bestseller among scholars and sex fiends: A Concise Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality — a conveniently sized paperback – perfect for beach orgies or boring church sermons. It’s a volume you’ll want to keep within reach in the bedroom or bath. And it’s guaranteed to answer all your questions. (If not, it’s packed with illustrations to ogle and drool over.)

The Encyclopedia features this distinguished panel of 23 experts of various sexual proclivities:

• Tim Anderson
• Mark Axelrod
• Tom Barrett
• Cathy Bryant
• Lenny Cavallaro
• Norman Conquest
• Rémy Dambron
• R J Dent
• Eckhard Gerdes
• Jesse Glass
• Malcolm Green
• Rhys Hughes

• Victor Hugo
• Amy Kurman
• Michael Leigh
• David Moscovich
• Opal Louis Nations
• Peter Payack
• Derek Pell
• Sourav Roy
• Jessica Ross-Dreher
• Paul Rosheim
• Doug Skinner
• Tom Whalen
