History
The history of Greenleaf began in 1959 with a meeting between Robert Silverberg and Harlan Ellison. Silverberg conceived a plan for struggling writers and convinced Ellison to pitch the outline to William Hamling. Nightstand Books resulted from this.
In 1965, the Greenleaf Classics imprint was started to re-issue the works of erotica first published in Europe (primarily by Maurice Girodias's Olympia Press) -- which had fallen into the public domain through international copyright problems. While Greenleaf Classics focused on re-printing these Olympia texts, they also commissioned new works of contemporary erotica by authors such as Thomas Ramirez.
The whole story is told in "Have Typewriter, Will Whore For Food…" by Earl Kemp in eI2, April 2002. The history ended with the publication of the The Illustrated Presidential Report of the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography.
