Candy was originally released in 1958 under the name Maxwell Kenton (a pseudonym for Terry Southern) in collaboratin with Mason Hoffenberg. It was first published by Olympia Press and later published in North America by Putnam under the authors' own names. The story owes elements of its plotline to Voltaire's Candide. In 2006, Playboy Magazine listed Candy among the "25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written", and described the story as a "young heroine's picaresque travels, a kind of sexual pinball machine that lights up academia, gardeners, the medical profession, mystics and bohemians.".

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Originally published as 'Candy', a collaboration by Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg, under the pseudonym Maxwell Kenton, the title was changed to "Lollipop" by publisher Maurice Girodias following the seizure and burning of almost the entire initial 1958 print run of 5000 copies. By changing the title and reprinting the first few pages, including the dedication "to Master Boon and Master Badj" ( originally Master Hadj and Master Zoon) and re-attributing an introductory quotation to Rimbaud rather then Voltaire, Girodias hoped to fool the censors and customs officials on the look out for contraband at the ports. No.64 in The Traveller's Companion Series, published by the Olympia Press in Paris, 1958. The true first Edition , first Printing October 1958 ,as stated,of this title. Price in old Francs crossed out and price in New Francs written by hand as NF18. Plain Green wraps, pp.189.8vo. Very Good, with some tanning to spine and small areas where the green colour has rubbed. No previous owners' names or inscriptions, pages fresh and bright, binding tight and square.
The Traveller's Companion Series no 64. The novel 'Candy' was published by Olympia Press in October 1958, and suppressed by the French authorities in May 1959 for being mucky. It was re-issued by Olympia later that year under the title 'Lollipop' almost entirely from the original sheets of 'Candy'. The title was changed; the first two pages of text were reset; the dedication was changed; and the quotation on the first page was changed from Baudelaire to Rimbaud. Finally, the copyright date was altered from 1958 in 'Candy' to 1959 in 'Lollipop'. Most copies have a new price (NF15) stamped over the printed one; this is the first state. (There was a further re-issue of 'Lollipop' by Olympia in 1962.) 8vo., original stiff printed wrappers with "Francs 1.200" price on lower wrapper. Spine a little sunned otherwise a very good copy.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Paris: Olympia Press No. 64, 1958. First Edition. Publisher's green-and-white perfect-bound wrappers. Faded stamp over the original price of "Francs: 1200" on the rear wrapper. Terry Southern's first book, an erotic modern day retelling of Voltaire's Candide, issued as part of the now-legendary Traveller's Companion series Banned by French obscenity laws, with many copies being confiscated. A decent overall copy, but listed at a relatively low price for condition. From the home of a tobacco smoker, with requisite mild darkening at spine strip and a very faint odor for those with more sensitive noses, though to my sensitive nose not that bad at all. Binding has 2 reading creases and though it handles somewhat freely it feels quite sturdy nevertheless. 4 inch crease line to front cover, though not actually bent or creased deeply. Additional crease lines at both upper and lower corners of the right side of the front. 1" or small split at both upper and lower corner on the left side of the front and right side of the rear, at the spine joint, both covers still firmly attached. Scuffed / rubbed heavily along both spine edges as well as in parts of both foot and crown of spine strips, with some minor loss at the foot. Faint crease line on rear cover, though again not actually creased. Small crease to bottom corner of back cover as well. Interior is clean, slightly age toned, but still fresh and without marks or damage. First pages has a couple of slightly grubby parts, but otherwise without blemish. Lightly bumped at the bottom corner tip of the first 20 pgs or so. Now in protective mylar.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paris: The Olympia Press, copyrighted 1959, but actually printed (and so stated) in October, 1958, hence publication date is1958. See scans in that regard. First edition of the "Lollipop" re-issue of "Candy" in response to censor confiscation and burning under that original title. 12mo, green wrappers, 189 pp. See scans for copyright/printing points as noted above; price "Francs 1.200" has been above-stamped with the New Price NF 15" (see scan). Dedication here is "To Master Boon and Master Badj" (see scan), an alteration from the "Candy" dedication, which was "To Mister Hadj and Mister Zoon". Very Good; tape at spine bottom, minor soiling on back cover, very small scale peripheral wear, light dustiness to page edges. See scans. The story of a naive and gorgeous young blond girl - who quickly finds out in exactly what way we men are all, instantly and always, the same - borrows its plot structure from Voltaire's Candide and uses that strangely juxtaposed vehicle to shine a light on all the vagaries of modern western life which beg to be lampooned. Considered by many, then and now, to be a classic of "black (dark) humor". In 2006, Playboy Magazine included Candy on its list of the "25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written". A nice, and rare, copy of one early publishing step en route to the coming-out of this timeless bit of erotic fiction. Please see scans. L50n.

Seller: William Reese Company - Literature, ABAA, New Haven, CT, U.S.A.
Two volumes. Uniform pale green wrappers, printed in black. Spine of first volume slightly sunned and a trace rolled, otherwise about fine. Second volume a bit sunned at spine with small sharp bump above the final 'P', lower forecorner slightly bumped, final two leaves have a faint tide-mark in the extreme lower forecorner, otherwise very good and bright. The first volume is the first edition, first printing, published as TC 64. After the French court condemned this title (along with sixteen other Olympia titles) in May of 1959, some sets of sheets were equipped with variant cancel prelims and distributed under the title LOLLIPOP. The original text was then reprinted in 1962, retaining the LOLLIPOP guise and continued designation as TC No. 64, as represented by the second volume present here, which has been signed by Terry Southern on the title-page. The price on the rear wrapper of the first edition retains the original price of 1200 Francs, but has a faint erased stroke through it. Among the most successful of the many satirical romps of its generation written for hire for Maurice Girodias, often by post-war American expatriates, and the source for one of the least successful film adaptations of the next decade.

First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. First three editions (as follows). Three volumes. Each is in printed green perfect bound wrappers. Each is 189pp. Between very good to very near fine (as follows): *Candy* (1958) with some modest rubbing on the wrappers, very good or better; *Lollipop* (1958) with a touch of rubbing, else fine; and *Lollipop* (second edition with this title but with original epigram, 1962) with some foxing on the foredge and endpapers and with two bookseller stamps (one from Shakespeare and Company), very good. The first edition of *Candy* by Maxwell Kenton, the joint pseudonym of Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg, who co-authored this highly sexual satiric riff on Voltaire's *Candide*. The novel was banned in France a year after its release. The true first edition of *Candy* is a rarity, one of only 5000 copies published by Maurice Girodias, probably the smallest limitation of any Olympia Press title. Upon publication of the book, the Brigade Mondaine, the French vice squad, immediately began to seize and destroy copies of the book. According to Nile Southern in his excellent book *The Candy Men*: "the book was seized from booksellers all over Paris and hauled to the trash yards by police." Because the book was published in English, the Brigade Mondaine had been supplied with the title of the book and the first couple of pages to compare to the text (in the event that someone might possess a copy without wrappers or the title page). The always resourceful Girodias had new wrappers printed with the substitute title, *Lollipop*, so that the police wouldn't be able to find the book alphabetically on the "livre interdit" list, and he rewrote the first several pages, even going so far as to attribute the Voltaire quote that leads off the book to Rimbaud! He replaced the first signature in the existing first edition copies, and applied the "Lollipop" wrappers to the sheets of the first edition, in order to (successfully) thwart the authorities, particularly for the British export market, which provided much of his income." Present here are the first edition of *Candy*, the first edition of *Lollipop* (*Candy* issued with new covers and a new first signature with Rimbaud epigram), and the later issue of *Lollipop* with that title retained, but with the epigram restored and attributed to Voltaire. First edition copies of *Candy* and *Lollipop* particularly are both very uncommon.
Paris, The Olympia Press, (1958). Original printed green wrappers. Green border on title-page. Spine a bit worn, with minor loss of upper layer of paper to hinges and capitals. Light wear to extremities. Lower corner of front wrapper slightly bent. Internally nice and clean. The scarce first edition, first issue (Traveler's Companion Series, number 64, printed October 1958, with the Francs 1.200 to back wrapper, not overstamped. - N.B. the 1.200 has been crossed out by hand, with a pen, but it is NOT stamped over) of Southern and Hoffenberg's greatly scandalous novel, which was confiscated by the Brigade Mondaine (i.e. "La Brigade de répression du proxénétisme" (BRP)) and officially banned in France. "Candy" not only caused an inevitable furor for its vulgar take on contemporary culture, but brought about landmark changes in how the First Amendment applied to erotic literature. The work, which constitutes the unison of three greatly provocative and time-changing minds (Southern, Hoffenberg, and Girodias), quickly gained classic status and is now one of the most famous "Beat"-novels. It was famously made into an all-star film (starring Marlon Brando, Richard Burton, James Coburn, Charles Aznavour, John Huston, Ringo Starr, Walter Matthau, John Astin, and Ewa Aulin) by Christian Marquand in 1968, and in 2006 Playboy Magazine listed it among the "25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written", describing the story as a "young heroine's picaresque travels, a kind of sexual pinball machine that lights up academia, gardeners, the medical profession, mystics and bohemians."The work was published pseudonymously by Maurice Girodias, owner of the scandalous "Olympia Press", in October of 1958. Almost immediately noticed by the BRP, who seized copies of it in the Paris bookshops, "Candy" was officially banned in France in May of 1959 (under a statute called the "1939 Decree", an amendment to the law of 1881, which gave the French government more power to ban offensive publications in foreign languages).In December of 1958, Maurice Girodias changed the title of "Candy" and reissued it as "Lollipop" in order to fool sensors and sell the remaining copies of the work. This supposedly work quite well and many copies of the book survived thus, leaving the first edition with the original title quite a scarcity, both in the first (not-overstamped) issue and the second issue. Later on, "Candy" was published in North America, by Putnam, under the authors' own names, those being Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg. In an interview, Terry Southern explains the origin of the pseudonym as thus: "Yeah. And the name of the author was Maxwell Kenton. A name I first used with David Burnett, of all people. He was the son of Martha Foley and Whit Burnett of The Best American Short Stories fame. We were collaborating on some short detective stuff, and even sold a couple to Argosy Magazine, and we used the pseudonym 'Maxwell Kenton'. So when Mason at one point had an attack of conscience and said, "Man, I've decided I don't want my mother to know about this book," we took the name Maxwell Kenton so his mother would be spared anguish at her Mah-Jong parties." (Smoke Signals).Terry Southern, though mostly famous for his bestseller "Candy", which greatly influenced popular culture of the 1960'ies, was known for a lot of things, including writing much of the film dialogue of the landmark films "Dr. Strangelove" and "Easy Rider". In his "The Candy Men. The Rollicking Life and Times of the Notorious Novel "Candy", Nile Southern tells the story of the book, the men behind it, and the furor that it caused: "When I was in grade school in 1967, one of my six-year-old classmates, Daisy Friedman (now a writer), turned to me and said, "Your father is a dirty old man!" I asked how she knew that, and she said, "He wrote a book called "Candy" - and it's a dirty, dirty book!" Again, I asked how she knew all this, and she said, "Because my parents told me - they have it on their bookshelf." Not knowing what a "dirty old man" was, I came away with the impression that whatever my father was, he was a great Upsetter. I would later learn that young, literate New Yorkers had no issue about having a copy of "Candy" in their libraries, but this was certainly not the case across the country - censorship and prudishness were in fact still alive and well, not only in the United States but abroad.I first got the idea for "The Candy Men" after reading a letter in Terry's files from a British barrister advising how (even in 1968) the only way "Candy" could appear in England would be to undergo a "pornectomy" - eliminating about eighty instances of what was considered "indecency," which the barrister had handily indexed in a kind of blueprint for the operation. The assessment featured page after page of cryptic references to offending words and passages to be excised or modified: Page 60 line 7 "COME" amend to "come to you" without capitals" Line 15 "jack-off" amend to "liberate"" Page 93 line 2 "exactly like an erection." Delete.(.)There were three men responsible for bringing the erotic fantasy Candy to fruition - and they could not have been more different. The first, Maurice Girodias, was Europe's most infamous publisher and indefatigable survivalist. Girodias put out otherwise unpublishable works of (mostly) erotic literature in English when the English-speaking world needed them most: Lolita, Naked Lunch, Henry Miller's The Tropics, the Marquis de Sade. As Girodias wrote of himself, "The connecting link is clear enough: anything that shocks because it comes before its time, anything that is liable to be banned by the censors because they cannot accept its honesty." Girodias was also a seasoned gambler. "A day out of court is a day wasted," he used to quip.Mason Hoffenberg, the second of the three, was one of the smartest, hippest, most undisciplined poets on the scene - whether it be Joe's Dinette, the Riviera bar in the Village, or the Old Navy on the Left Ba.
