25x17cm, 85pp. With woodcuts by Frank Peers printed in black. Copy 669 of 950 (1050) printed on Normandy Vellum paper, bound in full brown cloth, printed paper panel with illustration and title to the upper board, title printed in white ink to the backstrip. This 'lighthearted story of a bawdy house and three girls who worked there' is essentially a relentless sequence of double-entendres from the colourful American author Henry von Rhau (1896-1960). The powerful woodcuts have considerably more merit than the text. The inscription 'To the Inspector General we give this book of Holy Russia' must either have been a deeply obscure in-joke or else written by someone who had no idea of the book's content. Good (backstrip title almost completely rubbed off and a small area of abrasion to the foot of the upper board's paper, internally bright and clean), ink inscription to ffep and with the small discreet blind-embossed stamp of Dr Trevor Weston to the corner of the rear endpaper.
