Description:
Paris: Olympia Press, 1962. 12mo, pp. 185. Original green stiff paper wrappers, printed in black on front and back panels and spine. Publisher's label over price to rear panel, remainder of bookseller's label to rear endpaper, gum residue from removed label to ffep., a little edgewear and bumping to corners. About very good. First edition, second issue. No. 40 in the Traveller's Companion series. First published by Olympia in 1957 with the title The Organization, the book was suppressed two years later by the French authorities on grounds of obscenity. This impression was re-issued in 1962 with a slightly different title in an attempt to get around the ban. They should have tried harder with the new title: the book was prosecuted in 1963. 5.40.2

Staples rusted, closed tear at spine of Issue 1, age-toning consistent with vintage. A near fine set. First edition. A COMPLETE RUN OF THIS HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL PERIODICAL. Geoffrey Grigson was just twenty-seven when he founded the bi-monthly New Verse, which for most of the 1930s remained the only British literary publication devoted solely to poetry. Grigson insisted on high literary standards from his contributors, but once these were met anyone was allowed in; New Verse was important because it was the house journal of no one faction.

London: Faber, 1941. 8vo, pp. 188. Original grey boards, lettered in red to spine. General age-toning to text block, but a very good copy in a very good example of the fragile dustwrapper, spine browned, some chipping with loss to head of spine (not affecting text), a couple of small chips and closed tears to top edge. First UK edition. First published two months earlier in the US under the title The Double Man. A little loss to the notoriously fragile dustwrapper, printed on thin wartime paper, but a respectable copy. Bloomfield and Mendelson A-24b
