First editions. Folios. Overall fine set with one issue with a bumped corner slightly affecting the interior pages. Only four issues of Eros were ever published due to charges brought against Ginzburg under federal obscenity laws for the fourth issue. This is a complete set of a short-lived quarterly periodical containing articles and photo-essays on love, sex, and racy humor, and with Volume 3 containing the last studio portraits of Marilyn Monroe six weeks before her death. A nice set.
