I also chuckled at "One Handed Reads" as a as a category for a book line. An old friend used to do copy editing for the Penthouse Letters publications. Typesetters are trained to hook the eyes in parallel with the fingers and take the brain out of the loop. They don't actually read what they are setting. He could tell when the topic of a particular letter hooked into a typesetter's fantasy and they actually started reading the copy, as the galleys suddenly became riddled with typographical errors. I just said "That's what happens when you try to typeset one-handed". Nice to see it applied to the final works as well.
Who is publishing you these days? The market for print erotica seems to have been killed off by the internet, and most of what I know of is small press stuff. A friend was an editor at a major publisher, and was talking to her boss about the void. "Well, yes", he said. "There's a market there that isn't being served." Someone else commented "You mean there's a market that isn't being serviced." to general laughter.
But it's still a true observation. The last outfit I recall doing it was Masquerade Press (who reprinted some of John Norman's Gor series, to my amusement). The folks I know of now are basically small presses.

Actually, somewhere, there's a longer reply to your letter, both of which seem to have disappeared into thin air. I'll keep track, over the next few days, to see if one (or both) turn up, and if they don't, I'll head on back and recomment again on those Greenleaf Classic days.
In the interim, I'll keep this short and say "Thanks for the check-in".
