About This Item
New York City: Citadel Press, 1945. later printing. Hardcover. pp. 285. 8vo. The book shows light shelf wear and soiling. Contents unmarked and tight. Very good. The dust jacket is worn, with a large piece missing from the bottom of the spine and chipping along the edges. 'A revealing and documented study of an international traffic in womanhood.' The rather dramatic front panel showing a 'lady in red' talking to a man in the street, is present and still bright.
