Aqua Erotica: 18 Stories for a Steamy Bath
In September 2004, Melcher Media was issued a patent for the technology behind the method of producing waterproof books. Called DuraBooks™, the format utilizes revolutionary technology and is completely waterproof, highly durable, and upcyclable. DuraBooks look and feel like ordinary books but are constructed of tear- and stain-resistant synthetic paper with a unique waterproof binding. This enables them to withstand a wide variety of real-life elements, such as water, dirt, grease, and humidity. While the paper feels and looks like high-quality coated art stock, DuraBooks lend themselves to cleaning and handling that far exceeds the abilities of a standard paperback.
When we were looking to publish our first DuraBook, we immediately landed on producing a collection of stories that readers could enjoy in the bath without worrying about damaging the pages.
The First-Ever Waterproof Book for Adults
An Immediate Sensation
Aqua Erotica was widely and favorably covered in the press, with Kirkus Reviews calling the collection “hot and wet—also extremely well crafted.” We followed it up with two equally popular sequels: Aqua Erotica 2 and Wet: More Aqua Erotica.
