New York: Dell Books, 1970. 220 pp. Dell Book 6297. Edge and corner wear with minor creasing on the spine and some slight discolouration on the lower right corner of the front cover; no interior markings. This somewhat sexy novel was a literary hoax fired up in the late sixties by Mike McGrady of Newsday. He gathered together twenty-four journalists and set them the task of writing a really bad but really sexy book - apparently, some of the chapters were edited down because they had been too well written. The point was to prove that American had no literary taste, that even something truly awful but sexy would sell because sex sells.
