Stated Copyright 1954 by The Vixen Press, Copyright 1956 by Modern Press. This is a work of fiction and is purely a product of its author's imagination. Light tan textured boards, black spine titles, light shelf wear. Pages near fine; no writing. Bind fine, square; hinges intact. Scarce original dust wrapper, moderate edge wear, rub; unclipped 2.50, protected in new clear sleeve. Provocative wrapper dark mauve portrays model posterior posing with chair with camera man on his knees in b.g. Rare near very good volume in same wrapper. The divine female form is photographer Pat Mulroney's specialty. He's one of the best glamor photographers in the business. Then he meets the depraved and voluptuous Nell, who enjoys her carnal pleasures in many ways. Nell introduces the photographer to Tony, the sensual and lusty lesbian stripper. Matta plays the quiet girl who loses her shyness, and so much more, entirely in front of the camera. And Janey, Nell's lovely daughter, who wants Pat nearly as much as her mother! From Mark Tryon, author of The Sinning Lens, comes this 'modern' novel. A scandalous yarn banned by some in 1950's. The camera, a delicate mechanism that can capture light and beauty - of art, of science, of sheer joy. Or, a thing of evil! In his chosen field of photography, Pat Mulroney had talent. He was gifted with a light and sure touch - and the honest desire - to make great pictures. Top magazine photos, fine salon pictures. Where did he go wrong? Was it lovely Janey who led him astray? Airy tempestuous Janey, whose moods were capricious as the hues of her lingerie. Was it Nell? Janey's mother, still glamorous, tempting, and wicked enough to compete with her daughter. Could it have been Tony? Fantastic, fabulous Tony, that incredible creature whose mind was warped as her body was beautiful. Was it she who showed Pat Mulroney how the seamier side of his camera could make him rich? Or was it after all a weakness in Pat himself? A defect in his own character, a flaw that had to be conquered before he learned that out of the ashes of despair, a small spark can rise, phoenix-like, to burst anew into The Fire That Burns! A Modern Book distributed by Associated Booksellers, 2106 Post Road, Westport, Conn. Manufactured in the United States of America. 184 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.…
