The first titles published under the new Ophelia imprint included J.P. Donleavy's The Ginger Man, Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg's Candy, and Only Skin Deep, a hilarious satire on the genre by 24-year-old George Kimball.

"Only Skin Deep is a vicious and intolerable mockery of the whole filth industry."

-Hunter S. Thompson

"The only book I've ever read that had sticky pages."
