Tight, square spine. Clean, unmarked interior. No notable shelf-wear to the book. Some light edge-wear to the jacket. Jacket photo by Mark Gibson. 'Through those shadowy alcoves,' reads the jacket copy of this quantity-focused tale of sexual conquest, 'as a gallery of sexhunters emerges, [Johnny Rio] sets out to discover whether he is really still handsome and desirable.' To avoid the legal troubles still common for publishers in the late 1960s, Grove Press encouraged simple, non-incendiary designs for potentially controversial titles, as seen here in designer Roy Kuhlman's stark tempering of a staticky come-hither portrait of Rechy by tricolored all-business type (the publisher would soon buck the trend with its Evergreen Black Cat edition of the novel, featuring a nude male model photographed by Jean-François Bauret).

Johnny Rio, a handsome narcissist no longer a pretty boy, travels to Los Angeles, the site of past sexual conquest and remembered youthful radiance, in a frenzied attempt to recreate his younger self.Like a retired boxer—an undefeated champion—who refuses to accept the possible ravages of time, Johnny is led by some unfathomable force to return to combat once again. Combat, for him, takes place in the dark balconies and dismal bathrooms of LA's all-night movie theaters and on the hot sands of the city's gay beaches. But these are only warm up bouts. The real test, Johnny soon learns, will be in the shaded glens of a rambling park on the outskirts of the city.
