Item History & Price
Jens Bjorneboe - Without a Stitch - Grove Press, 1969 - 1st American Edition / 1st Printing - "First Printing" stated on copyright page as required in order to denote the first printing of the first American edition.
This example some slight lean but otherwise very clean, bright and tight example. The dust jacket with light soiling and some creases to rear flap but otherwise rather nice. A superb example of this surprisingly uncommon Grove Press title. This work... was a story of a young woman "troubled by her frigidity with boys" who came to instead find love in the embrace of another woman. This was rather racy subject matter for the times and would eventually cause the author to be tried in his home country of Norway with "sexual nihilism" and for the book to be banned. Of note is that this title went into multiple printings by Grove Press but only this first printing has this dust jacket which depicts a very young Jane Fonda nude on the beach. Interestingly she is never credited as the model and was replaced by film stills in later printings issued.
