1930s Boxing Tijuana Bibles (7)

1930s Boxing Tijuana Bibles (7)

The smut of the era. "Tijuana Bibles" were these engaging booklets crudely made in the United States, but earned the monicker of "Tijuana" perhaps to throw off the cops. Crudely made and highly illegal, these were sold under the counter by various retailers. Incredible collection of seven boxers are: Max Smellin' with swastika logo; Primo Canary "Push 'Em Up"; Gene Tooney "The Smart Boy"; Jack Bimpsey; Max Beer "The Lady's Man"; John L. Sullivan "The Boston Strong Boy" and; Joe Louis "The Pride of Harlem." This is the largest collection of boxers we've seen offered.
