Self-printed softcovers uncut very slight dustsoiling NF copy. First edition of this very rare pamphlet on birth control issued by the notorious mail-order erotica publisher Falstaff Press which specialized in republishing many of the Panurge anthropological titles including titles on sexuality sexual disorders birth control eugenics phallic worship scientific sexualia and flagellation. Most of these titles were written by some of the most significant anthropologists and sociologists working in the new and growing field of sexual sciences in the 1930s including Hirschfeld Reclus Niemoeller and Rohleder. Solomon Malkin was a young New York University scholar who had studied under Magnus Hirschfeld at the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin and oversaw the choosing of illustrations and text for the birth control pamphlets. This work details the very unreliable “Rhythm Method†of contraception depending on the charting of menstrual cycles however notes that this is has only 50% effectiveness and should be combined with artificial birth control methods.

1937001500New York: Dodd Mead & Company 1937. The Hill was first published in 1905. One of more than 50 novels written by its author it depicts the friendship between two boys who attend Harrow. Harrow School founded in 1572 is a highly prestigious boys boarding school in London still going strong today. 8vo size green cloth cover with navy blue titles on spine and navy blue titles and decorations on front cover. The cover appears to be an incomplete printing of the design that appeared on other books: Darker colored cloth books of the earlier 1900s dark blue or black had a illustration on the front cover of a hilly skyline with a tall building spire - which depicts the campus of Harrow School. This silhouette is made from the color of the clothbound book. The illustration on top of that is completed by two different colors on ink in green and white. In this book a later edition the cloth binding appears to be a shade of green represented by the color of the ink in the earlier version. You can see the very light embossing of the hillside and spire and you can see the void as the spire rises between the bands of navy blue ink that make up the design on front cover. These navy blue design elements are part of the sky background. Earlier editions would have used white ink to fill the voids between the navy blue ink and the embossed design of the hillside. It appears that there is a significant publishing error the the front cover design where an layer of white ink is missing. If one didn't know the design of earlier editions you might just take the cover for an abstract design. There is an embossed illustration on the spine of books on a shelf which also would have been filled in with green ink on the earlier edition and which is devoid of ink in this copy. The printing error has produced a unique cover. The book has 325 deckle edged pages with a unique toning or foxing that resembles a wood grain pattern please see our photos. This pattern appears throughout the book with varying degrees of darkness. Horace Vachell 1861 - 1955 was a prolific English author publishing novels 22 plays short stories essays and autobiographical works. Much of his writing features an idealized prosperous English way of life. Please see our photograph of the notation from a previous reader of this book - it is her recommendation.
