Contact seller4-star sellerFirst Edition. 8vo, 285pp; original orange cloth. Kahane, writer, publisher, and founder of the Obelisk Press, wrote several novels under the pseudonym Cecil Barr, this being among the earliest. A very scarce book, especially in the dust jacket, which features marvelously risque artwork by Constantin Aladjalov. Very slight lean,… discreet pencil ownership inscription on the front pastedown, placed to be hidden beneath the jacket flap; near fine in an excellent example of the scarce dust jacket, just a bit faded on the spine, with a touch of rubbing to the extremities and a small triangular chip to the upper rear corner.
