About This Item
New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1952. First edition. A young American's salacious adventures in post-war Europe; likened to the ancient legend of Paris and the Golden Apple. Damage to the top front corner, with more so the the jacket which shows some loss there. Light soiling to front panel, tanning to endpapers and page edges, minor sunning to spine, gilt lettering still bright. Corners rubbed a bit. Altogether very good to near fine in darkened dust jacket with occasional rubbing and chips.
