The original Funfare series, published by ToCo in the late 1950s, generally featured just a single model throughout. We thought we might put a slightly different spin on things by using the title Funfare in the 2000 range of eBooks to feature multi-model photo sets of girls together just having fun. Girls working together always have a giggle in front of the camera, resulting in lots of smiles, laughter, and lovely legs on display.
Dryden Staples has released some of these pictures to be used in the now familiar 2000 range of eBooks. Pictures were all taken around the late 1990s and feature many familiar names having fun with their friends. These booklets are slightly larger than the standard books and feature 52 pictures not seen anywhere else within the Spick and Span 2000 range of eBooks.
Just about everybody who visits this site on a regular basis, I'm sure, is aware of the range of Spick and Span 2000 pictures that I have permission to use from Dryden Staples. These eBooks have been popular, and there's plenty more to come.
eBooks are great, but what do you think about Spick and Span 2000 on film? The Spick and Span 2000 photosets were a step on from a series of videos produced before the internet age. They featured a range of girls, most of whom were not photographed for photosets and are not currently available. These short films were typically around 10 to 15 minutes long.
They are now about 30 years old and were originally recorded on tape before being transferred to VHS cassette. We are in the process of transferring some of these to a digital format so that they can be made available as downloads for you to buy and enjoy. These early films were superseded by digital recordings, which do feature a number of your Spick and Span 2000 favourites.
They will only be available on the Brazen eBook site in the Film Download area. If that interests you, have a look. There is only one available at the moment, more will be added on a regular basis.
Remember, payment and digital delivery work differently there and requires a bit more patience from you, but it is always worth the extra effort. If it is your first time on the site, please take a minute to familiarise yourself with the process before placing an order. Remember, I am frequently available to help and solve any problems.
Maple Leaf Studios - VHS Films Maple Leaf Studios was a small Folkestone business that sold sexy print sets via mail order, often featuring the photographer’s partner Linda and a few other local girls. It wasn’t long before the studio branched out into making short videos and selling them the same way to the customers who bought the prints.
This all took place in the 1980s, long before DVDs, when, if you were lucky enough, you had a massive VHS or Betamax video player sitting under the television. These tapes probably weren’t sold in the thousands; more likely, hundreds of copies at best, and they are now quite rare. I have been given access to a collection of these tapes, these will be converted into a digital format, giving you the opportunity to see a bit of rare erotic history.
To kick things off, I have made the first one available on the Brazen eBook site.

Nice selection of 1960s men's magazines added on BrazenBooks. Lots of hard-to-find magazines, all in very good condition. I have done my best to list the featured models each magazine includes. Searching a model's name with the site search will find the book she appears in. Lots more of these classic magazines to come.
I recently unearthed a box of magazines from Delta Pictures and didn't know much about them. However, with the help of some other collectors, here are a few more facts.
Delta Pictures/Publishers was a small company that produced a large number of A5 photo storybooks from around 1970. The original format featured the names of subsequent magazines (usually three) on the back page. They included pictorial stories, where the opening page provided a few paragraphs that outlined a vague plot. The magazines often focused on couples or lesbians (often threesomes) and sometimes included multiracial content. All magazines had colour centre pages, with the rest consisting of full-page black-and-white images. It's all very 1970s, as you might expect, with stockings, boots, platforms, fancy knickers, and occasionally tights, all set against classic interiors.
They were not sold in newsagents but were mainly available in specialist shops in Soho, etc. They were all soft-core.
Around 1974, Delta created four series titles above the main story title: X Appeal, Erotic Dreams, Erotica Illustrated, and Liaisons. Shortly after this, Top Sellers, which published quality top-shelf magazines like Game, bought them. This was the time of the UK top-shelf golden era, which was very lucrative for publishers and retailers. We think Top Sellers was the UK arm of US Topps, a massive publisher that started the sports cards industry.
Top Sellers magazines added the four additional titles: X Appeal, Erotic Dreams, Erotica Illustrated, and Liaisons. The magazines became sequentially numbered, and storylines were integrated throughout the pictures. A few adverts were included, and the quality was upgraded, but the format was essentially the same.
It lasted only a few more years. We're not sure why it ended so abruptly—perhaps the American owners decided it wasn't their cup of tea. Vast numbers of magazine episodes were produced; we're guessing about 150 Deltas and 150 Topps.
I like them and have about 60 copies, which I think are worth preserving. I have made an initial eight available on Brazenebooks, with the rest to follow over the next few months. I have compiled a list of all the titles I know about, although I only have about half of these.
I have replicated this post on BrazenBooks, with the addition of a gallery of a few of the internal pages and a list of the titles I know about.

Another 3 five model bumper editions uploaded, each with 60 all-colour pictures. See them on the Extras Page.
A small selection of eBooks from the SBS range of titles is now available on the eBook site BrazeneBooks. SBS magazines cater to those who enjoy images of women in lingerie, knickers, stockings, and suspenders, provocatively posed in domestic situations. While scanning these, I noticed a couple of familiar ToCo faces: Laurie Sands and Pinky Sands, who stand out as models who advanced their modelling careers.
I have just made available a nice selection of ToCo prints, all originally bought from the Croydon offices. These are now available for purchase at Brazenbooks, all priced to sell, hopefully. Lots more prints to follow when I get the time.
While I have your attention, would anyone be interested in Lady Suspender and Rosalind Woods films?
