I'm hoping to add a list of SOTI web resources. If you have any to suggest, please don't hesitate to e-mail me at OriginalArt@aol.com.

For years finding any copy of Seduction of the Innocent has been tough. Because the bibliography was pulled from most copies of the book before it went on sale, finding a copy with a bibliography has always been a real challenge. It took me nearly 20 years to find and purchase a copy of Seduction of the Innocent with bibliography and dust jacket. Now that I finally have it, I can sell off some of the other copies of SOTI that I bought along the way. Plus, when I find a copy of SOTI, I frequently barter to have one more for my inventory. Just e-mail me if you're looking for a copy.

Thanks for checking out my site!

Mostly for my own reference, but maybe you'll be interested in these things too, here's a list of some pre-SOTI articles I'm looking for. Yellow indicates I have it. White indicates that I don't have it. In most cases, that meanas I'm looking for it. The stuff that's related to Wertham's later (Fanzine) years doesn't interest me nearly as much as the pre-Code anti-comics stuff he did.
