Paris: Olympia, 1966

Small 8vo, pp.223. Original green stiff paper wrappers, lettered in black to panels and spine. Some wear to spine, new price stamped to rear panel and the printed one deleted, some light creasing and edgewear to front panel.

A piracy of the Olympia title Hell Is Filling Up, originally published in 1961. The half-title and title page use fonts dissimilar to those used by Olympia, but the green wrappers are faithfully reproduced, and the text has been reproduced without being reset. The immediate giveaway is the Traveller's Companion number given to the book: 215. (The Traveller's Companion series only went as far as 96). The identity of 'Peter O'Neill', who wrote two books for Olympia, remains unknown.

An interesting Olympia curiosity.
