ANON but maybe Jonathan GASH!
Streetwalker.

Imprint: The Bodley Head. London. 1959

The Bodley Head. London. 1959. DW. From the front flap you would suppose this book was written by a young woman, who for ten months was a prostitute in the West End of London. Many believe this to have been written as a work of fiction by Jonathan Gash [Jonathan Grant] If this is true, as Harrington's believe, it is his first work and predates the first Lovejoy novel by 18 years. Gash did work as a GP and doctor in London so...The book in addition to the normal pink plain wrapper which is messily price-clipped has a very well done handmade cover-story wrapper - wittily titled "Komm-Mit No Nuisance." The original owner did not want someone to know what they were actually reading! pages are slightly browned and wrapper is slightly worn to extremities otherwise a clean and sound copy. I have priced this to reflect the middle ground between the average price for those who don't think it was a work by Gash (he has denied authorship) and those that do but also take into account the splendid extra wrapper.While trying to research this I came across the history of Dean Koontz's early works before he became a best selling horror writer. Evidently he wrote about 30 pornographic and gothic romance books, some with his wife Gerda, in order to make a living - the most famous and the only pornographic one he publically admitted to writing - is "Hung" by Leonard Chris. This now sells for up to $1,000.00. Even after 35 years as a bookseller I still get so much joy from learning things like this.

John Harris. London. No date, (circa 1824). Hand-sewn 12mo (17.5 x 11cm) Chapbook, with faded original printed purple card boards, very worn and rubbed, lacking small portions to spine. 17 pages - printed and illustrated and numbered to one side of each leaf with the reverse of every page being blank. Hand-coloured frontis. (Amusingly entitled "Portrait of Dame Trot. From an Original Painting.") Hand-coloured vignette of cat to title page, 16 hand-coloured half page engravings. The colours are as bright as when first done approximately 200 years ago. Contents are browned and foxed, especially to endpapers and margins. This volume is an early reprint of the improved and enlarged 1819/1820 edition, of the original story with b/w illustrations, thought to have first appeared in 1803 but the earliest surviving editions are from 1806. Apart from the larger, very attractively coloured illustrations, the text is wittier and does not resemble the Old Mother Hubbard story so obviously as that in the earlier versions.
