有咁耐風流﹐香港百年情色史 – 曹民偉

11th Feb 2008 220 0 華洋書塾
Hong Kong Erotic History

若果對最近報紙舖天蓋地﹐不停報導陳冠希肉照事件感到厭倦﹐大可以轉轉口味﹐看幾十年前的古老肉照。曹民偉編著這本香港百年情色史﹐記錄香港開埠以來被歷史遺忘的一面。零四年初出版時﹐竟然給香港國際書展列為禁書﹐當年也算是一個淫審小風波。真的不知道淫審處那班官員的下半身是什麼構造﹐居然對相中人早已作古的陳年艷照動淫念。不知道他們是否有某些特殊嗜好﹐對幾十年前的老女人有生理反應。原本以為這書早已絕版﹐想買也買不到。估不到聖誕回港時﹐遇到此書剛剛再版。行街路經書局看見﹐馬上二話不說買下來。… [...]
