The Prodigal Virgin

Thomas, Homer G.

176 pp. Plates & illustrations by Jacques Merd. 26.7x1`7.5 cm. (10½x7¾"), French-style wrappers. No., 282 of 700 copies. First Edition.

Quite scarce erotic work. The author, an American, hopes "that this effort of mine will not be judged as merely another pornographic book." OCLC/WorldCat lists no copies of this first edition, though there are two copies of the 1968 Brandon House reprint, and one of the 1972 Venus Library edition.

Original glassine tattered and missing spine strip and portion of front panel; light stain to front wrapper; very good.
