Edmund Curll is traditionally considered a pornographer, remembered for having been condemned to gaol and the pillory. Shedding new light on his remarkable life, this book instead shifts the focus to his working methods as a publisher, his relations with the book trade, and his repertoire of misleading bibliographic tricks.
