Only the softcover edition is recorded in Kearney (who believes the issue under notice is genuine) and Private Case. Prosecuted on March 29, 1963 for violating a French law concerning how erotic literature could be sold, displayed, and advertised.

A bit of sunning along upper and lower edge, otherwise a Very Good copy indeed in good dj with 1/2 inch chip along upper edge of rear panel and slight loss at spine extremes. Cf. Kearney, Paris Olympia Press 11.2.1.; Private Case 1005.
