Alex Comfort – The Joy Of Sex – First US Edition 1972
£150.00
A first edition, first printing published by Crown in 1972. A very good copy in very good dust wrapper. The binding remains firm and square with clean boards. Internally clean, aside from blacked out name to the front endpaper. The dust wrapper is complete and unclipped, showing light surface wear and minor creasing to extremities, retaining strong colour.
A landmark publication of the 1970s and one of the most commercially successful illustrated books of the twentieth century. First published at the height of the sexual revolution, it became an international bestseller and a cultural touchstone, notable for its explicit yet clinically presented illustrations. Early printings are increasingly collected as emblematic artefacts of social history.
