Dust Jacket Condition: dj. First edition. First edition of one of the earliest scholarly, scientific monographs on transsexuality. Preceded only by Michael Dillon's SELF (1946), HOMOSEXUALITY, TRANSVESTISM, & CHANGE OF SEX was just the second non-biographical/autobiographical book in English on transsexuality. While de Savitsch's careful distinctions between transvestism, homosexuality, and transsexualism owes much to the conservative theories of sexuality and sex roles current among even the more forward-thinking psychologists and psychiatrists of the day, the book is a sympathetic medical study of Arlette Leber, whose transition was among the first in Europe (Switzerland). de Savitsch is generally in favor of the decriminalization of mutually consensual sexual activity, but writes with more sensitivity around issues of transsexuality (or "inversion") than homosexuality. The book also remains an important and frequently cited source on the legendary story of Nicholas de Raylan. Issued by a medical imprint of Heinemann, primarily for a small scientific audience (a US edition would follow later the same year, made up from UK sheets), de Savitsch's book is scarce on the market, especially so in jacket. OCLC shows some 100 holdings across both editions (which makes sense: many copies would have been sold directly to libraries), though we note they are fairly scattered, with many in the UK and Europe, and many if not most presumably circulating. An important work in trans history. 7'' x 4.5''. Original full yellow cloth. In original unclipped (12s. 6d. net) red and white pictorial jacket. 120 pages. Foxing to jacket, with some minor soil and rubbing. Penned notation (dated 1969) to front flap. Book has slight lean. Two small penned notes (in same hand) to prelims. A handful of corner creases to pages. Spot or two of soil here and there. Overall, sound. Very good in a very good jacket.

Savitsch (1902-?) was a doctor and sexologist. Born in St. Petersburg, his family fled to Japan on the outbreak of the Russian Revolution. He later moved to America, where he struggled with poverty and tuberculosis, but became a doctor. After graduating from the University of Chicago, he studied at the Pasteur Institute and the Bunge Institute in Antwerp. At the latter, he did field work on sleeping sickness in the Belgian Congo. Much of his early work was done in the area of tuberculosis, and many of the articles here are on that subject. He later distinguished himself in the are of transgender studies, publishing Homosexuality, Transvestism and Change of Sex in (1958). He published an autobiography, In Search of Complications, in 1937. About thirty-five items, bound in one volume, the author's own copy set of his offprints, with a few abstracts and news articles taped in. Full maroon morocco by L. de Palhares of Lisbon. Covers and spine decoratively stamped in gilt and blind. Bookplate of the author on front pastedown. Light shelfwear. A very good copy.
