And All But He Departed
By Alex Comfort
Publisher: Routledge and Kegan Paul, London, 1951. First Edition. Small octavo. Hardback with original dust jacket. 64 pages.
A good copy. The dust jacket is good with some age toning to the extremities. Pages good throughout. A little browning to endpapers. Overall good.
The author is perhaps better known for his manual The Joy of Sex (1972). That book's success propelled him to ever greater heights. He moved to California where he and his second wife frequented the Sandstone Retreat, a "clothing-optional" community espousing open sexuality or swinging. In Thy Neighbor's Wife, Gay Talese wrote: "Often the nude biologist Dr. Alex Comfort, brandishing a cigar, traipsed through the room between the prone bodies with the professional air of a lepidopterist strolling through the fields waving a butterfly net". Corners slightly bumped.
