About this Item
[The Ersatz of love]. Later edition, douze mille. 8vo., endpaper, title, half-title, tirage, title, [1p.], viii-xvi, [3pp.], pp-20-206, printer's leaf, all edges untrimmed, in the original yellow paper wrapper with titles and a decorative vignette by Brady in a decorative box on the upper portion, titles and ruling on the spine and a publisher's catalogue on lower in a uniform box, all printed in blue, the publisher's lists continue on the inside, old bookseller's price in pencil in front, book fair ticket loosely inserted, French text. Amiens, Librairie Edgar Malfe?re, Bibliothe?que Du He?risson, 1935. £50.00 A crisp copy, the wrapper edges a bit nicked, roughly opened in places. Identical to the first trade impression ( see above) but for Brady's illustration showing a bearded, top hatted man standing back to back with a more bohemian type in a soft hat and cravat. A confessional novel of Teutonic homosexuality based on a fictional diary and supposedly a roman-a?-clef. The title translates better as ?Substitute Love' perhaps. Willy quotes Krafft-Ebing and discusses Proust and Gide's gay love text Corydon in his preface. 243682. Seller Inventory # 243682
