Another entry that really needs a commentary.

My mother had a collection of Heritage Press books from the late 1940s, early 1950s, before parents had kids (disposable income, I guess). Most of them were "worthy" titles, a number of Charles Dickens, some Dostoyevesy, a copy of Tristram Shandy, a collection of Van Gogh's prints, other titles I don't remember, but the one that always interested me was this one - Thomas Bullfinch's The Age of Fable. I always loved Greek Mythology since finding a book about it in my elementary school library. But this book was special - I discovered it when I was in 6th or 9th grade, when I finally got access to the upper shelf. It had DIRTY PICTURES in it. Modern art (and really ugly!!!) line drawings of nekkid gods and goddesses. I don't think my mother ever looked in it, or it would have been seriously verboten to me!
