Rape Round Our Coasts (1950s) is purportedly a book about soil erosion often mentioned in books documenting the history of pornography such as Hyde's A History of Pornography (1964).
As of 2022, the earliest mentions in print of this book are Antiquarian Bookman which wrote:
- [ The British Publishers Circular & Booksellers Record (Sept 21) reports that the London customs officials impounded a work titled "Rape Round Our Coasts." The author protested only mildly: “ I don't know what sort of mind these ...
and The Bulletin (Wednesday , October 8 , 1958) which wrote:
- Censorship
- From London “Time and Tide”:
- “British Customs officials recently impounded a highly respectable book. ‘I don't know what sort of mind these Yahoos have,’ said the indignant author, ‘but I hope they enjoyed the book. It is about soil-erosion.’
- “Alas, poor Customs officials. But there is some excuse for them. The book was called Rape Round Our Coasts.”
There is no record of a book with that title in the usual sources.
