About This Item
New York: Soho Crime, 1994. First Edition . Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾"- 9¾" tall. First printing of the first edition. Novel about research into forbidden erotic poetry, presumed lost in a Venice flood. Jacket has light rubbing and crease. Ironically for a book about flood damage, this may have gotten damp once--a littlle of the dye from the blue boards has stained the bottom page ends and the inside of the jacket.
