First edition, first printing, the scarce issue in hardcover. Black hardcover titled in lavender gilt to cover and spine, no dust jacket presumably as issued. A clean tight unmarked copy with a bit of rubbing to cover. Very uncommon in hardcover, I've never seen another in hardcover and imagine the small publisher made only a small amount.

?The literature relating to transsexuals is small, and this study by an anthropologist, based on her observations while hanging out' with members of the Berdache Society, comprises a valuable addition to it. . . . Her discussions of how [her clients] learn to manipulate the therapists whose approval they need to undergo sex change surgery constitutes one of the most interesting aspects of the book.?-Small Press Book Review
