About This Item
London : Jonathan Cape, (1971). First edition. "To be intimate means to be close, and I must make it clear at the outset that I am treating this literally" - the zoologist examines the whole range of human intimacy from social to sexual, and the overwhelming and increasingly forgotten importance to the human animal of touching and physical contact - from eye contact, a handshake, or a pat on the back, to the hug, the caress, and the kiss and beyond. "The female navel, at any rate, will never be the same again" wrote Mordecai Richler in the New York Times, 5th March 1972. Demy 8vo (23cm). (254),[ii]pp. Original fawn cloth; brown label; ruled, blocked and lettered in gilt; top edge pink; a few edge-spots, but a very good copy in the M. Mohan dust-jacket - the jacket just a touch sunned, with some very minor edge-wear, but also very good.
