About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 1938. WONDERFULLY INSCRIBED IN YEAR-OF-PUBLICATION BY MARGARET SANGER on the front free endpaper ("To Guy Moyston who gave the cause the push in the right direction when it was needed. My thanks. Margaret Sanger Nov. 1, 1938"). A solid, very presentable copy to boot of the 1938 stated 1st edition. Tight and VG+ (tasteful former owner bookplate at the half-title, light foxing to several of the preliminaries) in a crisp, price-intact, VG dustjacket, with light creasing and chipping at the spine ends, rubbing along the rear panel and a bit of creasing --with several tiny closed tears-- at its lower-edge. Thick octavo, fascinating memoir by the great 20th century crusader for birth control.
