About This Item
London : New Fiction Press, [1951]. First edition. The first of the "silver" Jansons - all that can be seen of the original Reginald Heade cover design is a splash of purple sheet, the tip of a shoe and a few hairs from the top of the half-naked brunette's head. The original artwork (saucy even by Heade's standards) was silvered over prior to publication on account of increasing attention from the authorities. Later republished under the Alexander Moring imprint as "Don't Scare Easy" in 1958. "One of the three or four best books by Janson" (John Fraser). Crown 8vo (19cm). 125,[iii]pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers; just a touch of wear at foot; a few very faint marks, but a very good copy indeed. Only the British Library copy located on COPAC. Williams & Holland 32.
