Sold under the counter in places such as tobacco stores and burlesque houses, millions of tijuana bibles were sold at the height of their popularity in the 1930s. They went into a steep decline after World War II and by the mid-1950s only a small trickle of new product was still appearing on the market, mainly in the form of cheaply printed, poorly drawn and tasteless little eight pagers which sold for 10 cents each in run down candy stores and gas stations, circulating mainly among delinquent teenagers.
