On the other hand, only 11 of 79 books on prostitution are classified XR. The bias is clearly heterosexual...

Dior's Marc Bohan must have robbed every hen house and bird cage on the Continent. He whipped up topcoats of grouse, full-length evening coats of grackle, blouses of speckled hen feathers and wove materials half in tweed and half in pin feathers...
