Printed on "Unicorn laid paper." 'The Songs of Bilitis' is a collection of erotic, essentially lesbian, poetry. From a review: "These passionate verses were published in Paris in 1894 as the lost works of a disciple of Sappho. Between their open celebration of lesbian love and the eventual revelation of their true authorship, the verses actually were written by French novelist and poetry Pierre Louys - they became a 'succes de scandale.' Although debunked as a work of Antiquity, The Songs of Bilitis remains a classic of erotic literature."
