first edition Softcover
1959 · Fresno
by WILLIAMS, James
Fresno: Fabian Books, 1959. Softcover. Very Good. First edition, a paperback original. Faint dampstain visible only at the inside edges of the paper wrappers and slight bowing to the body of the book, presumably reversible. An attractive, very good plus copy of this paperback original by a Black marine veteran of the Korean War, stationed in Okinawa at the time of publication. A poorly written and intentionally sensational novel of interracial love, the publisher apparently specializing in a brand of softcore pornography. Nonetheless an extremely uncommon book.
