In Britain you could try Nexus (Thames Wharf Studios, Rainville Road, London W6 9HA) or Chimera Publishing Ltd. (PO Box 152, Waterlooville, Hants, PO8 9FS). In the States, Masquerade Books (801 Second Avenue, New York, New York, 10017). Masquerade also has other imprints (Rosebud, Rhinoceros).

Signet books, an imprint of New American Library, which is a division of Penguin Books Ltd. (27 Wrights Lane, London, W8 5TZ) and St. Martin's Press (175 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, 10010) are mainstream publishers who both put out a fair amount of 'risque' material.

Smaller players in the genre would include: Carroll & Graf Publishers, Inc. (260 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, 10001); Blue Moon Books, Inc. (61 Fourth Avenue, New York, New York, 10003); and Magic Carpet Books, which also has the maya imprint (PO Box 473, New Milford, Connecticut, 06776) and is probably affiliated with SCB Distributors (15608 South New Century Drive, Gardena, California, 90248).

The granddaddy of them all, who may no longer be in business, is Grove Press, Inc., who also had the Black Cat and Venus library imprints (196 West Houston Street, New York, New York, 10014).
