Many people have been anxious to see Rimm's pornographer's handbook. I heard at least one reporter tried to reach her at home on Saturday. Could this have caused her public repudiation? -Declan -------- FORWARDED MESSGAE >From 102035.1437@CompuServe.COM Sat Jul 15 22:47:47 PDT 1995 Article: 9612 of alt.internet.media-coverage Xref: netcom.com alt.internet.media-coverage:9612 Path: netcom.com!ix.netcom.com!howland.reston.ans.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.compuserve.com!news.production.compuserve.com!news From: Carolyn P.

For the record, I would like to state these facts: 1. My name was listed in Books in Print as an illustrator for the Pornographer's Handbook without my knowledge or consent. 2. The Pornographer's Handbook was an idea that Martin Rimm spoke of frequently to me, but I have never seen it in either printed or electronic form. I have never written, or helped anyone write the excerpts from The Handbook which have been posted on the net, quoted in Brock's article or any other. I have never published material, written or illustrated under this title in any format. Martin Rimm has never given me copies or excerpts from the Pornographer's Handbook, nor have I taken them from him without his consent. 3. I do not know or have ever corresponded with John Russel Davis. 4. Martin Rimm did not contact me to verify my role in this situation before publicly accusing me, through the news media, of inappropriate and false use of his work and authorship. -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++Carolyn P.
