Panther, London, 1970. First Edition. Softcover. Good Condition. Plain paperback binding with gold, red and white coloured titles to the front panel and white coloured titles to the back strip. Joe Sandwich will do anything for a laugh, naming his son Hamilton Â– inevitably to be shortened to Ham, four example. This monstrous sense of humour is potent in his armoury of seduction, until it turns his attention to the glorious Gloria, "... glamorous wife of sober psychologist Wally Hines, the outcome is spectacularly unexpected ..." -- from the rear panel blurb. A little creasing of the book corners with rubbing of the book edges and panels. Browning and some staining of the text block edges and there is a little scattered foxing to the top text block edge. Some scattered foxing to the first few and last few pages of the book with light browning to the pages. First edition of the work in this format and binding, and/or set or series. Size: 12mo (standard paperback). 208 pages.. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: Fiction; United States; Humour.
