Blue books (7)

I believe the answer is:

erotica

(Other definitions for erotica that I've seen before include "Literature or art with themes of sexual love" , "Material of a sexual nature" , "Amatory literature" , "Blue material" , "pornography" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
