BLACK LACE OMNIBUS IV

New York: Doubleday Direct, Inc., 1999. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. A 3-novels-in-1 omnibus of late '90s romantic erotica from a trio of women authors noted for their work in this genre. "The Top of Her Game," by Emma Holly; "Stand and Deliver," by Helena Ravenscroft, and Susie Raymond's "Taking Liberties," are the books in this fourth Black Lace omnibus edition. Originally published in 1993 by Black Lace, this copy is from the book club edition, a first edition thus. About 5 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches, 761 pages in black paper-covered boards with gold lettering on the spine. The dustjacket's front panel shows a photo of a rather modest nude female serving as background for the titles of the three novels. Back panel has a one-inch-square detail from the photo on the front below the omnibus' title over a black background. Boards show a touch of surface wear and spine ends are lightly bumped while text has single dogeared page (491-492), o/w boards and text are complete, clean and unmarked. Binding is tight and square. Dustjacket shows considerable surface and edgewear with small creases and tears. No major damage, however, and no loss of any part of the graphics and pictorial design elements. Dj is now in mylar protective jacket. This is way better erotica than "Shades of Grey" and better edited.
