Eros, Ralph Ginzburg's first and most famous publication, was a quarterly hardbound periodical containing articles and photo-essays on love and sex. Herb Lubalin was the art director and second on the masthead. It was named after the Greek god of love and desire, Eros. The publication was bound in cardboard in a 13" x 10" format, averaging about 90 pages in length. Only four issues were published before Ginzburg was indicted on charges of violating federal obscenity laws and had to stop publishing the quarterly.

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.
