"Perhaps nothing evokes more universal disgust than child pornography. The world of its makers and users is so abhorrent that it is rarely discussed, much less studied.

"In tracing porn's transformation - from the Civil War to the golden age of comic books in the 1940s and 1950s to the adult film industry's golden decade of the 1970s and up to today - the authors illustrate that what began in the dark alleys of American life has now emerged as an unapologetic multibillion-dollar industry."--Inside jacket.
