Claim: Erotic Review was founded in 1995 by Jamie Maclean and later sold to Rowan Pelling for only £1 plus liabilities.
Evidence: Erotic Review was founded in 1995 as a monthly newsletter for the publisher Erotic Print Society (subsequently Erotic Review Books). It was created by first editor Jamie Maclean, who ceded control to Rowan Pelling in 1997. As the magazine's parent company had been experiencing financial difficulties, Pelling was able to purchase Erotic Review for only £1 plus liabilities.
