Publications from the Erotica Biblion Society of London and New York start to appear in late Victorian London, continuing throughout the 1930s. Erotica publishing can be notoriously hard to trace, often with both place and date being forged to throw authorities off the scent of obscenity. The Kinsey institute notes the place of publication for Passionate pastime is likely fictional, and as scant other examples exist of Paris as place of publication, it is more likely this is a quirk of the wider London and New York publisher rather than a separate imprint entirely. While these prolific and ephemeral pamphlets were cheaply produced and enthusiastically distributed amongst a discerning class, they were rarely saved or preserved.
