Junqueland #2 – Two tales of summer fun await you! Kiss Kiss the Gorgon and Strawberry Head get juicy in the poolside cabana and make some strawberry margaritas.

Hot Buttons – A discreet pocket book containing 9 full color erotic pin-ups of your favorite Junqueland characters pressing their “hot buttons” (or getting them pressed by a pal!)
