About the Book
Porn is more mainstream than ever-witness recent bestsellers by Jenna Jameson, Traci Lords, the Vivid Girls, and Pamela Anderson. Continuing this fine tradition is The Big Book of Porn, a friendly, funny celebration of adult movies. Chapters include:
• Know Your Classics: The 25 most important adult films.
• Great Moments in Porn History: From the first stag movie to the invention of the VCR.
• The Pantheon of Porn: These mini-bios of mega-stars like Seka and Ron Jeremy are filled with surprising trivia.
• It’s a Porn World, After All: Adult movies from Canada, Japan, even Afghanistan.
• Make Your Own Porno: All you need is a video camera, a willing partner, and these simple pointers (”Tell a story,” “Start with a bang,” “Parody a real film title”).
Best of all, The Big Book of Porn is illustrated with classic posters, stills, and production shots from the smutty ’70s to the present day. Provocative, authoritative, and laugh-out-loud funny, The Big Book of Porn is a proud celebration of history’s most scandalous art form.

About the Author
Seth Grahame-Smith
Seth Grahame-Smith is a film and television writer/producer, semi-frequent blogger, and New York Times bestselling author. He grew up in the wilds of Connecticut, eschewing the outdoors in favor of Stephen King novels and a worn-out VHS copy of Aliens. After college, he moved to California, where he wrote everything from narration scripts for History Channel documentaries to lyrics for Flava Flav. No, really. He also wrote several non-fiction humor books, including How to Survive a Horror Movie and the much-funnier-than-it-sounds Big Book of Porn. In 2007, he produced the innovative CBS internet series Clark and Michael, starring Michael Cera (Superbad, Juno).
In 2009, his Jane Austen-meets-the-undead mash-up Pride and Prejudice and Zombies debuted at #3 on the New York Times bestseller list. Seth is also the Co-Creator/Executive Producer of the MTV comedy series, The Hard Times of RJ Berger. He received a B.S. in Film from Emerson College.
He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and son.
