A couple of years ago I found and read this book at a friend’s cottage. The Seven Minutes by Irving Wallace . It is a great who done it fiction and court drama based on a trial about a criminal case over an issue of pornography vs. literature. It was originally published in hardcover by Simon & Schuster in 1969. Subsequent paperback reprints were available from Pocket Books.
It has many great historical facts on erotic/ pornographic literature and the legal precedents that allowed these works to be published and read in North America/western democracies.
It is also a great slice of life in the 1960’s as well as factually quoting one of the greatest prose IMHO ever written in a will.
