Finding Special Books
When I lived in San Francisco in the early 1990s, there were still a lot of dusty musty bookstores to be explored in cheap buildings on dingy streets and in disreputable alleys. And every one of them had at least a few shelves of dirty books and magazines. I could, and quite often did, wile away an idle afternoon quite happily, by walking at random through the city, going into every bookstore I saw, and looking for “interesting” books.
An unexpected side effect of this hobby was that I would have “finding” dreams. Yup, I’d wake up from a dream of having found some sort of special erotica in a dusty bookstore. Usually it was large-format 11×17 looseleaf folios of black and white erotic “etchings” style drawings in a modern style, but of course as with all dream desiderata, I would remember it as exquisitely appealing, but I couldn’t ever remember exactly what it looked like, or where the damned bookstore was.
When I saw the social media account at the top of this post about a well-hidden library of gnomish erotica that a lucky adventurer visited in a D&D game, my first thought was “I’m pretty sure that I, too, visited that gnome smut library, in one of my finding dreams, these thirty-five years past…”
The gnomish erotica in this post is by Sorenuts.

Yup, I’ve seen it. Shanghai, China, probably very early this century. My wife was looking in the markets for disks of various TV shows and kept finding movies. One such seller was going to take us nearby to where he kept the “other” stuff. My wife didn’t realize how much things had changed and didn’t realize what the “other” actually was. I did, however, and pointed out it wasn’t what she was looking for. (The China she had known–being able to buy erotica that openly would have been out of the question and she just thought it was a matter of putting the most popular stuff out.)
