1st printing of the true first edition. A paperback original published in 1964. Midwood F371 with a cover price of 50c. Original cover art by Paul Rader. At the time of listing this was the only copy of the first edition on the site. A later edition was published in 1968. Cover printed in the U.S. and the text in Canada. A lesbian novel and "A daring excursion into the world of exotic bondage . . . She was eager to be taught each new step of the strangely illicit dance of desire." A pleasing copy. The artwork is bright. Minor shelf wear to the surface of the covers. Spine roll and a reading crease along the spine edge of the front cover. Previous owner's initials printed at the top edge of the reverse side of the front cover with a blue ballpoint pen. The binding remains supple. The exposed page edges are stained red and there has been some bleed to the edges of the last half-dozen pages and the fore-edge of the back cover. Corners of the covers softened. Supplied in a fitted, polypropylene bag. The mass market paperback was created in 1939 by Pocket Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, and in less than 100 years the format is being discontinued by distributors and publishers. That has generated renewed interest in paperback originals with original cover art. …

Store description
Operating continuously since 2004, SIGNAL BOOKS specializes in autographed fiction in collector's condition. All books are 1st printings of the 1st edition, unless otherwise noted. All dust jackets are protected in a clear, acid-free sleeve. And 85% of our book inventory is autographed by the author because SB is located near Toronto, an international hub for author events. Regarding condition, we believe in full and frank disclosure. We describe objects conservatively and thoroughly so you won't have any unpleasant surprises. And you may rely on us to take care in packing your order so it will arrive as described. If you've grown tired of buying from dealers who lack the expertise or the willingness to fully describe flaws or who are purposely vague in their descriptions, buy from us and put that aggravation behind you. We ship in sturdy boxes - NOT self-mailers or padded envelopes. And all sales regardless of purchase price are bubble-wrapped and surrounded by Styrofoam peanuts. Please browse our catalogs, including autographed first books, books signed by deceased authors, books signed and dated in the year of publication and Comic Books-Action Figures.
