Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Dustwrapper (by Michael Harvey) slightly embrowned at the edge and slightly faded at spine. Inscribed by the author (to Euan Cameron, then working for the publisher), "With deeply appreciative gratitude for all you have done 8 iv 76 John Wolfenden"; loosely inserted a news-cutting (some offsetting) of a Times profile of the author (by Philip Howard), 5 April 1976. "I have often been asked if I was not disappointed that these 'reforms' [following the report of the Committee on Homosexual Offences] took so long. I have always answered, I think honestly, that I was not - for two reasons. First, the sapient Permanent Secretary at the Home Office said to me, when he had read the draft of our report, 'Don't expect legislation quickly. In a thing like this, where deep emotions are likely to be aroused, I would guess fourteen years as the average time-lag between recommendations and legislation.' Secondly, on a quite different wavelength, I had been in the United States when the Prohibition laws were in force. I saw then what happens when legislation is out of sympathy with public opinion . . .". Inscribed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 30M100683
