Somee great news I've been waiting to unleash on the world for some time now - Behind the Pink Curtain gets a 3rd edition. OOP copies fetch silly prices nowadays, if you can even find one, so here's a chance for a new readership to catch up on my words from 15 years ago!.
Behind the Pink Curtain is back! Jasper Sharp’s genre-defining text was 1st published in 2008, now it’s being reissued with a new Afterword considering pinku eiga's development over the intervening years. Pre-Orders live next week @ date & time info soon!
