Book is in poor condition, reading/reference copy only, as-is. Green cloth boards are worn completely at the edges, corners round from wear, spine backstrip is not present, book is quite shaken. Interior is quite foxed. Illustrations largely in black and white, three in color, 428 pages. The author promotes a device he created called "the conjester," which he claims can make the penis/clitoris of a hermaphrodite into a full-size penis. Hollick's work challenged the prevailing Victorian-era ignorance surrounding sexual health. He argued that a scientific understanding of the sexual system was necessary for physical, moral, and social well-being. All orders packed with care, most dust jackets protected by Brodart sleeve, independent bookseller since 2011.
