Wives and Men

Not dated but c 1940. Later printing. Green cloth boards (rubbed, rounded at corners and worn and mildly sunned on spine). Ex library, markings on front endpapers only. Occasional finger marks on softened pages. In a pictorial period dust jacket by Watkiss (Chapped and cracked at edges, worn, fraying at spine tips, dulled but just about complete). Wives and Men was published under the title Man and Wife in the US. Risque romance about a prostitute and “three men and three women who meet one night in a hotel bedroom and are never again the same. The professional correspondent, the judge, the procuress, the lawyer, the detective, the man, the wife.” Scarce edition, especially in its original dust wrapper, of this anyway hard to find romantic story. 0
