Zustand: Very good in a good jacket. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: dj. Second printing. Sensational novel of two OB-GYN doctors and their patients. Despite the book's "completely frank medical vocabulary" and use of a "simple and easily understandable glossary," a contemporary review in the Journal of the American Medical Association summed up the work thus: "The book is neither fish nor fowl, neither fiction nor science, neither essay nor poetry. It is just an attempt to capitalize the public's morbid interest in obstetrics, gynecology, and abortions." Hardcover. 8vo. Dark brown cloth with maroon titles and illustration stamped to front board and spine. In original pictorial dust jacket. A very good copy in a good DJ. 1.25" tall chip to jacket front panel. Some creasing and chipping to top and bottom of jacket, especially at spine; price clipped. Boards a bit rubbed with a thin layer of soil. Front hinge repaired. Clean throughout. 307pp.
