THIRD EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED. Two volumes (of seven, though volumes were also sold individually). 8vos, pp. [xvi], 352, including plates + fold-out chart, [6 adverts for sexual science titles]; pp. [xii], [392]. Brown buckram, spines lettered and ruled in gilt, blind embossed device to upper boards. Spines sunned, gilt dulled, wear and bruising to extremities, nicking to heel of vol. I. A few scores to upper board of vol. I, bumps to bottom edges. Edges tanned and faintly spotted, some fox spots throughout. POIs to ffeps: “Joan Brooke/ 1931” in pencil, plus her married calling card: “Joan Gibbs-Smith” pasted in. Scoring and engaging critical marginalia in pen and pencil to vol. 1 (featuring on 22 pages and ranging from single sentences in the bottom margins to two half-pages at the end of chapters): Gibbs-Smith frequently speaks back to Ellis (particularly harshly when he refers to an erection as a penis blushing: “What Rubbish!,” she scoffs) and links passages to her own sexual life, her social circle and wider experience. Occasional pen scoring and only a single brief marginal comment to vol. II, alas. A robust pair, containing fascinating insight into an interwar female reading of sexual science.
