- Abstract
The article discusses issues associated with the publication of Allen Walker Read's 1935 book "Lexical Evidence from Folk Epigraphy in Western North America: A Glossarial Study of the Low Element in the English Vocabulary," by Obelisk Press. Topics explored include the way the book featured profanity and obscenity written on national park toilet walls, the prohibition on publications that show obscenity, and the risqué memoirs and fiction previously published by Obelisk.
