First edition published by Victor Gollancz, London, in 1947. Although interior condition is overall good, because this original letterpress book is more than 75-years-old, it displays minor signs of use / age — like the usual discolouration to old paper — consistent with a printed object of this era.

After service in the RAF, he publicly advocated and was instrumental in enacting law reform (1957-1963) to decriminalise homosexuality. His colourful private life included association with the Kray twins and attracted both press attention and police activity. ¶ ⁂ This is currently the only copy of this book available on eBay. ⁂ Your book, anywhere within the UK, is sent to you FREE.
