I used to work at a bookstore which sold a (very) few adult books. (I recall The Story of O and Autobiography of a Flea amongst our titles.) The owner sold these books, but was very paranoid about moral majority types finding out that we sold them. She thought we might get picketed. (Frankly, I think we could have used the publicity.) On the rare occasions when I was asked if we carried any adult books, my stock response was “Well, some of our books do require a certain degree of literacy.”
