Octavo. 237pp. Frontispiece photograph by "A. M. G." Another in the press's series of erotic fiction editions, which are at once titillating and revolutionary. Gay Sunshine Press was a significant publisher of periodicals and paperbacks for the gay male community and much of its literature took taboos around LGBT culture and enlivened it with a celebration of sex and community. Deluxe copies are scarce. Boyd's signature bears a pre-publication date of 1983, suggesting that he signed the book mid-production. Bound in pale blue paper over boards with striped cloth spine. Trace staining to upper cover, else near fine.
