About This Item
London: Chapman & Hall,, 1959.. First edition.. 254 pp. Fine in near fine dust jacket with faint sunning to spine. SIGNED by Martin on the title page, with his holograph note to the copyright page, “The reason for the blacked out section on the dust jacket is that we were threatened with a libel suit. I’d been sent a fan letter by another writer called Delanoy. I used his last name for a decadent character, and we were threatened with a libel suit. We settled by blacking out the name on the dust jackets that hadn’t been distributed. Ken Martin.” Young 2541*.
