New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1967. First American Edition, 1st Printing.

Octavo (8 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches; 215 x 142 mm), 252 pages, in quarter cloth over boards, gold titles to spine. With the dust jacket and the scarce "In Transit Docket."

Strange things take place in a Paris brothel, involving not only sex but also....nuclear weapons. The book includes the top secret "In Transit Docket," which lays out a U.S. plot against the Chinese. A typically fast-paced Deighton thriller.

CONDITION: Small closed tear in pages 29-30, a couple of small stains on the fore edge, some fading to the titles on the spine. Dust jacket unclipped with slight offsetting from the red end papers onto the front flap, a bit of rubbing to the top of the front and rear panels. "Transit Docket" is Fine, Overall, a Very Good copy.

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
