Sgt. L.S. Mosinski and deputy Donald Allen sift through the tattered remains of more than 3,000 obscene booklets found on Highway 1.
May 31, 1965
About 3,000 obscene booklets fell off a truck on Highway 1 about sixty miles north of San Luis Obispo and were recovered by sheriff’s deputies. They put the value at $75,000 based on the $25 price on the 37-page booklet. That is a big price tag in an era when the newspaper is selling for 10 cents a copy. The booklets were printed in France and in an attempt to give the pamphlet authority the author was listed as Dr. Carlton Farquhar. If it fell off your truck, the deputies would like to talk to you.
