No plans to publish at all, at least for now.
I can do without the hassle of searching for a publisher, etc.
And, as it is written in English and the topic are German films there is room for doubt that publishers would be desperate to get their hands on it...

So, it's just a hobby for me.

Possibly the same girl, but I don't know.
Wouldn't be too sure about who is misspelling here, (a) because it's probably a pseudonym anyway and (b) because spelling mistakes (or spelling variations) in on-screen cast lists are not uncommon in genre films.

I see, but why don't you publish it on the internet then, so people can read it? I don't understand why you would you write a book for yourself. Seems like a waste if it has a lot of valuable information that can't be found elsewhere.

Some of them - see today's update, but I hadn't caught up with the additions in this thread before sending the update.

That would be my taste, but not everyone's. That's how the database began, but since there were some 90s titles that I was interested in, it was just too difficult to decide a limiting date. We've been sent some information about 70s and 80s porn from people who are mainly interested in more recent stuff; so the information on the classics has benefitted by attracting those people by including information on the modern stuff.

That would rule out a publication in book form which I don't want to do either. I have given electronic versions of the book to a few select people I know.

For an internet publication, I would need to get myself a private web page, which I don't have at the moment - and I would have to make myself knowledgeable regarding copyright issues w.r.t. the pictures I use, there could be concerns regarding the odd hardcore image in there, the fact that there are nude pictures in there would create a lot of traffic (the book is now beyond 60MB in size), etc.

Because I enjoy the activity, and I like to revisit what I wrote some time later when the details about a film are no longer fresh in my mind.
I always had handwritten notes on scrap paper about these films (and still keep those), but it is not the same - the book format forces you to be more to the point and more articulate, and it urges you to look for and extract that one thing that makes a certain film special.

Whoah. Personal taste and databases don't mix. Either you have a database or you create a fan site.

It's 'nice' to know "crappy 21st century porn" is tolerated here.

That's a much more concise way of putting it. Thanks.

Apparently a difference in spelling - I checked and girl 3 is indeed in "Christa, die Beichte...", so it's likely to be Jana Kleck/Klenk.

Might be worth including Rosi Schubert. She is in
Orgien in der Lederhose. The film is soft with contemporary hc inserts (and I'm not sure a version without hc inserts even exists), and she is only a softcore performer, but this has been recently released on DVD in a series of hc flicks (Mike Hunter).

Thanks. I'll add her to the next update.

Does it actually says Kleck on the credits for Christa (if there are any). It could be someone copied the name incorrectly on IMDb.
