Pleasure Bound (Carroll & Graf)

A Victorian erotic novel from our good friends of Carroll & Graff is a compendium of three main books, Indescrete Memoirs, The Celebrated Mistress and Pleasure Bound Afloat .... I have read and reviewed Indescrete Memoirs and it is to say the least a must have novel in it's own right. The Celebrated Mistress is a non nonsense novel of a group of hedonistic debauchers that wastes very little time in character development but maintains a high level of action of the most scrumptious kind The third book is supposed to be part two of the Celebrated Mistress but I am sure it was written by another author, and by the looks of it a German one at that. Iv'e never been into any of the erotic writings by any German writers so suffice it to say I probably would say that after the first pages of this book the last 116 were an anticlimax ... Interesting to read but definitely not memorableThis book is one of the reasons that I have started to spend some time reviewing because in the erotic literature genre it is quite common to have the same books published and available in numerous versions as a self standing novel or a chapter in some 5 to 6 hundered page tome. For those readers who have read some of my other reviews please let me know since it is aggravating to buy duplicates and the best of erotic literature always seems to go out of print in a flash ..... Finally Pleasure Bound and Idescrete Memoirs have been published in at least 6 different versions
