Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good dj. 1st Edition (unstated). [light wear at spine extremities, spine slightly turned, light browning to page edges; jacket shows some wear along top and bottom edges, minor chipping at top of spine, a couple of small closed tears]. "Beau Tremaine -- a most handsome and cynical, middle-aged Libertine -- when desperate for money for his many diversified pleasures, organizes a bunch of glamorous and exciting females and males into a so-called 'health resort,' but which was nothing else, in reality, but a good excuse for a sex camp in wild and turbulent Reno, Nevada -- the gambling mecca of the entire country."

(What? You say you missed the Modern School of Three-Dimensional Naturalism, as embodied in the oeuvre of Mr. Weiss? Were you just not paying attention?).
