They usually bore the owner's name and maybe their coat of arms or some other decorative design and were to be pasted on the inside of the book cover... The wealthy collectors, interested in erotic literature and able to pay for it, usually had their rare erotic books bound in costly vellum and leather by top craftsmen… In these cases, the bookplates appropriately bore erotic designs in keeping with the nature of the book's subject matter." Bound in the original dark green boards, stamped in shiny gold. Complete with dust jacket.. First printing of the First Bell Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. Illus. by Anderson, Doug (jacket design). 8vo. 213pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well.
