Item description from seller

At the top of the title page above the title it says 'How To Raise Love Or Modern Studies In The Science Of Stroking.' This may be the Genuine First American edition. Or not. I'm going to leave it to the expertise of the potential buyers. If I'm right that it is, it may be the Only one for sale on the Internet-- and also under-priced. C'est la Vie. So, if you check the few other sellers of a '1923' Erotica Biblion Society edition they are saying that it was likely actually published circa 1930 or 1932. Their copies have burgundy or red covers. Mine does not. My book has 1923 on the Title Page. From my experience that means it was published in 1923 and there's no 'circa' whatever that can come into play. That's definitively the year it was published. Maybe I don't know something specific to this book, but I doubt it. If the date was only on the copyright page (there's no print on the verso of the title page of my book) that would be another story. One other thing: there are no plates/illustrations in my book, which I've read makes it all the more rare and---I believe--fits with it being the genuine first. No author is referenced in the book (I wouldn't want my name on this book if I'd authored it) but another seller has stated that it was authored by three men, Edmund Duponchel, Frederick Hankey and Alfred Begis. You can see the covers in the photos. The marble front and rear have scuffing with surface losses. The spine is in rather nice shape with just one tiny tear at the top edge and two at the bottom edge. The binding of the book has some issues. The covers are solidly bound. The front one has a thin space at its juncture with the first end paper. The space begins at the top edge and continues down 2/3rds of the way. The last 1/3rd does not have the space and the juncture at the rear cover and rear end paper does not have a space. There's another space going down 1/3rd between pages 18 and 19 and 26 and 27. Page 35-36 isn't bound over the top 1" or so at the top. There's a crack between 42 and 43. The gathering between pages 43 and 50 is separated at the top 1/3rd. Another crack between 58-59. The gathering between 67 and 74 is detached. A few of these pages have a thin tear off their outer edge. A gathering between pages 75-82 is also detached. Both detachments are very clean, no tears or wear.The binding on all of the pages after page 82 is much better, no cracks/spaces and no detachments. There are153 pages. Turning over the pages, every one, I found two other edge tears over the last 71 pages. There's not much by way of creasing. There are occasional spots of soiling, but the pages are, in the main, clean. There's no foxing. There are no markings. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The content is definitely not 'clean'. This book is Not for children. But the price should ensure that if it is purchased, it will be by an adult.

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
