Paris, Olympia Press, 1958. Green cloth with title labels and dust jacket. On the inside flaps the blurbs have been replaced (as almost always) by reviews from the British press, and advertisements for other Olympia Press publications, by Beckett and Ableman. (2), 382 pp. Title printed in green and black. Revised edition. Very good, dust jacket has only a single small tear. The Ginger Man, Donleavy's crushing debut, first appeared mutilated in 1955 in the pornographic Traveller's Companion series of the Olympia Press. Also in 1958, an edition adapted to the prudish censorship was published in London. This book, printed in 500 copies, is only 'very slightly expurgated' according to the Olympia Press bibliography by Patrick J. Kearney. Seller Inventory # 282533
