Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Tight, square spine. Clean, unmarked interior. No notable shelf-wear to the book. Some light edge-wear to the jacket. Jacket photo by Mark Gibson. 'Through those shadowy alcoves, ' reads the jacket copy of this quantity-focused tale of sexual conquest, 'as a gallery of sexhunters emerges, [Johnny Rio] sets out to discover whether he is really still handsome and desirable. ' To avoid the legal troubles still common for publishers in the late 1960s, Grove Press encouraged simple, non-incendiary designs for potentially controversial titles, as seen here in designer Roy Kuhlman's stark tempering of a staticky come-hither portrait of Rechy by tricolored all-business type (the publisher would soon buck the trend with its Evergreen Black Cat edition of the novel, featuring a nude male model photographed by Jean-François Bauret). Another depiction of Rechy graces the back flap, this one by longtime Christopher Isherwood companion, artist Don Bachardy, who met the Goodbye to Berlin author on Valentine's Day in 1953 and still resides in the pair's Santa Monica home. 256 pp.
