The Government vs. Erotica: The Siege of Adam & Eve Features
The Government vs. Erotica: The Siege of Adam & Eve
37 armed law enforcement agents forced their way into the offices of Adam & Eve in 1986. Employees were detained without due process or access to an attorney. This was only the start of 8 years of legal battles and $3 million in legal fees that would mean the difference between survival and oblivion.
Adam & Eve President Phil Harvey writes in his own words why he became a champion for free speech as a result of tactics that the courts later said were "intrusive and intimidating" – and how for creating the catalog you hold in your hands, he could have spent 45 years in Federal prison.
250 pages.
A must-read and a wake-up call for First Amendment believers.

Intriguing, insightful, and imperative!
Submitted by: Anonymous on October 17, 2003
As timely as tonight's evening news. An examination of what Ashcroft-type first amendment views can do to the individual, free enterprise and the very fabric of society. Harvey's insightful views on everything from organized religion, big government, pornography, to the corporate soul will interest a diverse group of readers including political pundits, free speech advocates, students and corporate players. <BR>
<BR>
This is not some passive academic examination. Instead it is the first hand account of an entrepreneur whose livelihood, beliefs and very right to freedom are challenged by an attempted modern day witch burning.<BR>
<BR>
All the read of a super thriller. Add the insight and reality of the governments ability to unleash their unlimited resources and threats of long prison sentences with the scantiest evidence. Few of us have the spiritual, physical, fiscal, emotional or intellectual stamina to stand up for what is right under those conditions. Harvey did it and won...making him an unlikely American folk hero.<BR>
<BR>
An extraordinary insight into the possible American landscape when we surrender our liberty to self-appointed/government appointed (and self anointed) arbiters of the public taste. <BR>
<BR>
Intriguing, insightful, and imperative! <BR>

I just wanted to say that I love your products and thank you for standing up for the people rights. I have not yet read your book but the next time I am shopping I will buy it. I just wanted to say that I think it is people's own personal business what they buy and what they do in their own home. Trust me I am no angel and I love being bad. If the government ever took that from me I would be lost, because I am no saint by far. LOL........As long as your company is around I will always shop here. Keep up the good work.
