Top ShelfTop Shelf is slang for "best" or "high quality". This term originated in England. It comes from the practice of keeping the best quality liquors on the top shelf of a bar. This led to well-respected or upscale brands being referred to as "top shelf" brands. In modern English parlance, the term top shelf magazine is used to refer to soft-core pornography sold through newsagents. These magazines are positioned so as to be inaccessible to minors (those under 18) and out of the normal line of sight of the majority of shoppers. Thus, in the UK softcore pornographic magazines (available through newsagents) are often referred to as to top shelf magazines. Hard-core pornography is legally available in the UK only through licensed sex shops. Top Shelf Productions is a publisher mainly of comic books.
