Acquired Tastes XLIII: Gay Pulp Fiction, Part 217 - Finland Books, Part 6 of 20

Acquired Tastes XLIII:

Gay Pulp Fiction, Part 217

 Finland Books

Part 6 of 20

Today we take another look at the Finland Books imprint.

Brought to you by the good people at Star Distributors, LTD., the Finland Books imprint published 200 titles between 1980 -1991. Star Distributors, LTD. operated out of a P.O. Box at the Canal Street Station in New York City.

Publisher's Page

The cover design features a black and white/brown and yellow erotic illustration (pencil, charcoal, ink) on a yellow background with the title of the book in a bold, lower-cased black graphic font near the top. The art itself was done by a number of artists including Craig Esposito, Adam and Clemént. All the authors are anonymous and the book number would sometimes appear on the spine of the book, but not always.

 

The numbering system begins with FIN-001 and continues thusly.

Back Cover

And, as is the case for many of the Star Distributor's imprints, Finland Books would be republished, not only later in their own history, but as titles for other imprints held by Star Distributor's or Arena, such as Brutes!, New Male, Young Stallions, Man To Man, Macho Books, Jock Studs, Hot Male Readers, Hard Throbs, et. al.

These books are rather plentiful and typically can be acquired for between $15-55.

This week, I found something to represent all ten titles. In coming weeks? That may not always be the case.
