content: This book is the reissued version of Sweeter than Life. The original version was the subject of a 1953 lawsuit, resulting in a bookseller being imprisoned for 30 days in 1956 for carrying the "obscene" book. This punishment was appealed, leading to the Smith v. California (1959) Supreme Court decision. This voided the California law prohibiting the sale of obscene content, as the law violated the First Amendment right to free speech.
