Description
Dragon's Dream, Surrey, 1978. Softcover in illustrated wrappers. First Edition (stated: March 1978). Rare, Hard to Find vintage erotic photography and poetry book that, although designed as an antidote of sorts to ponography, was misunderstood by the British government and attempted to destroy upon its release due to a misperception and misinterpretation of its erotic content. 12" x 8", 158 Pages with numerous color photographic collages throughout with accompanying poems by Penny Slinger and Nik Douglas. BOOK CONDITION: Good; shows light overall wear to covers and spine, slight curl to extreme top corner of all pages, signs of handling to page margins including hints of light wear to margins at intervals, most notably (and quite common) the 3 central signature groupings (out of 5 total) are loose from the binding but are still holding strong (resulting in numerous pages having gaps along the gutter where the gatherings and stitching can be seen); however, the binding is still solid and holding well since the outer gatherings at each end are still attached to both the binding and endpapers. Still a complete and collectible copy of a rare book.
