Come riportato in quarta di copertina, questa silloge è: «a rambling, erotic collection of experience and sense-experience, written with the free hand of a man who has lived each part of his life to the fullest, unaware and unconcerned with the limits of a cautious existence -- a scabrous and scatological vision of life and love in the underground world of sex, drugs, and crime». in 16°, brossura illustrata (collage di Larry Gaynor), pp. 255 [1]. Prima edizione. Più che buon esemplare, quasi ottimo (tracce di usura alla brossura, piccola gora ai tagli, interno pulito).
