BURROUGHS, William
The Wild Boys: A Book Of The Dead
London: Calder & Boyars, 1972
8vo, pp. 184. Original red boards, lettered in gilt on spine.
First UK edition.
Burroughs' predictably nihilistic foray into science fiction, set in the darkly unknowable future of 1988.
A very nice copy of a book seldom found in such good condition.

CROWLEY, Mart
The Boys In The Band
London: Secker & Warburg, 1969
8vo, pp. 182. Original green boards, lettered in silver on spine.
First UK edition.
Mart Crowley's off-Broadway sensation, filmed in 1970 with the same principal cast by William Friedkin. Overly waspish and limp-wristed for today's tastes, the play nonetheless was a key catalyst for change going in to the 1970s. A key text in the history of both Gay Lit. and Gay Rights.

[Profumo Scandal] DENNING, Lord
Lord Denning's Report
London: HMSO, 1963
8vo, pp. 114. Original pale blue paper wrappers, lettered in black to front and rear panels.
First edition.
'The Circumstances Leading To The Resignation Of The Former Secretary Of State For War, Mr. J.D. Profumo.' These circumstances, as the most cursory reference to the vast amount of literature the scandal generated will tell you, included topless models, a well-connected osteopath, a Russian naval attaché, lies to Parliament, cottages on country estates, nude bathing, and the Minister of State for War.
Probably the main cause of the Conservative Party's defeat at the 1964 general election, the Profumo affair is here the subject of a government inquiry by Lord Denning, with chapter headings every bit as salacious as those you would expect to find in the pulpiest of pulp novels: The Slashing And Shooting, Christine Tells Her Story, "He's A Liar". One of the most enthralling reads ever published by a government.
