Hardcover. 206 pp. Errata slip laid in at p. 206. The author's first (and only) published novel. The story of Maynard Ricefield, a "pioneer of pleasure" in early 1960s New York. Maynard, a "big-city culture cat", pursues two girls who are friends and carries off their hearts. Meanwhile, an Upper East side hosiery store owner, Irving Melman, is allowing a friend to use his phone as a horse racing bookie. For letting his phone be used, Irving gets more than rent money, but he is nevertheless unhappy. Back to Maynard; he's very happy but a trifle guilty since neither of the girls know about each other. Turmoil ensues between the friends, at the hosiery store, and some friends of Izzy The Bookie. Ivan Karp (1926-2012) was a New York art dealer, gallerist, and author who was considered instrumental in emergence of the PopArt movement and also played a role in the development of New York City's Soho district as an area of art galleries. Roy Lichtenstein created the front panel dust jacket art with lettering by John Rombola; the rear jacket was a silkscreen created by Andy Warhol from a photograph of the author by Steve Shapiro.

First edition of the rare penultimate issue of Sanders's erotic counterculture magazine, with the coveted and fragile thermofaxed front cover featuring a still from Warhol's banned pansexual art-porno Couch (1964), showing Gerard Malanga, Rufus Collins, and Kate Helicser making love on the Factory couch. It also includes the significant pirated first appearance of a long homoerotic poem by W. H. Auden. This copy is in exceptional condition. A key publication in the mimeograph revolution, Sanders's Fuck You magazine consisted of 13 issues between 1962 and 1965, advocating free love as a political weapon and celebrating it by printing erotic poetry of every persuasion. This issue is highly sought after for the Warhol front cover and for containing the first publication of a controversial and explicit poem by Auden. Written in 1948, it was never intended for publication, though Auden circulated copies to his friends for their amusement. Sanders obtained a copy, reportedly from an employee at the Morgan Library, and published it here, without Auden's permission, as the "Gobble Poem"; it later became known as "The Platonic Blow". Auden's authorship of this celebratory gay poem contributed to Downing Street ruling him out as a potential poet laureate. Also included in the present issue are pieces by Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Michael McClure (described in Sanders' editorial as "an eternal San Francisco 'Meat Phantom' and cock Hawk. His poetic energy level is just shy of the left spurting freak-tube of the Eye of Horus"), LeRoi Jones, Gerard Malanga ("Has fucked 1000s of New Yorkers in his Total Apertural Assault. Chief Spurt Phantom in the Harpers Bazaar Cunt Conspiracy"), Gregory Corso, Claude Pellieu, Ted Berrigan, Sanders himself ("a wan tremulous psychopath & multi-sexual cock phantom. His penis has the whole of ATALANTA IN CALYDON tattooed on & around it"), and many others. Bloomfield & Mendelson, Appendix II, for Auden. Quarto. Occasional in-text illustrations. Original wire-stitched wrappers, front cover with thermofax-printed still from Andy Warhol's Couch (1964), mimeographed contents printed on varicoloured sheets. Front cover a little nicked, one crease to lower outer edge, ring mark at head, else a fine copy of a fragile publication.
