Add to basket1st printing of the first edition. A scarcely found paperback original. Playtime Book 618 with a cover price of 60c. Printed and bound in the U.S. Original cover art reportedly by Robert Bonfils, one of the premier painters of good girl cover art. Bonfils is presumably a pseudonym given that bon fils is french for good girl. From the back cover: "It started as a lark when Doug Marlowe arranged forged papers to get call-girl Janet into college. But sex, lesbo style, was already there. She had nothing to do either with the savage rape of Mary Becker, another student, or the rackets committee investigation." A tight, well-preserved copy with a supple binding and no markings by a previous owner or retailer. Slight spine roll with a reading crease along the spine and the spine edge of the front cover. The top and bottom corners of the front cover have softened, and there is an abrasion in the top edge of the back cover. Page edges tanned. There were two dozen titles published in the series, and Dormitory Doll is not commonly found. Supplied in a fitted, polypropylene bag. The mass market paperback was created in 1939 by Pocket Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, and less than 100 years later distributors and publishers are discontinuing the format. That has generated renewed interest among collectors in the paperback original with original cover art.
