Introductory Note

I am deeply indebted to Mr Gregory Stephenson of Virum,Denmark, for providing me with the information contained in
the following list, and in the notes which precede it. With theexception of some minor editorial and layout adjustments, thework is entirely Mr Stephenson’s, and is copyrighted in hisname.
Between 1966 and 1968, twenty titles in the Danish Traveller's Companion Series were printed by the Obelisk Press inCopenhagen. All titles were translations into Danish of books
originally published in English by the Olympia Press in Paris.
The volumes in the Danish Traveller's Companion Series
were essentially uniform in size, design and format with thoseof the Paris Olympia Press, but not all of the titles in the Danish
series were drawn from the Traveller's Companion Series published in Paris. Certain of the Danish translations were of books
published by the subsidiary imprints of the Paris Olympia Press,
including the Ophelia, Ophir and Othello series.
The books had stiff, olive-green wrappers. The front wrapper followed the Paris model, with a border rule consisting of a
black chain-link rule enclosing a black-white-black rule. The
layout of the front wrapper comprised: author's name | title ofbook | series number of book | Dansk Udgave | Af | Traveller's Companion | Olympia Press. The titlepages differedslightly, and were laid out thus: author's name | title of book |Traveller's Companion | Olympia Press | Obelisk.
An article in the Danish newspaper Politiken for April 6,
1966, notes that the books in the Danish Traveller's Companion2

Series were published by O. Storm Pallesen in editions of between 30,000 and 40,000 copies. The article further states thatwhile the first volume of the series, Glædeshuse, apparently either failed to attract the attention of the Danish authorities, orelse was not thought objectionable by them, the two following
books, Regnbuesex [entry 2] and Paula [entry 3], were declared
pornographic by a police solicitor and a city court judge, andwere confiscated by the police at 8 a.m. upon the morning ofthe day following their publication.
