Small 8vo, pp. 210. Original green stiff paper wrappers, lettered in black to front and rear panels and spine. New price printed faintly to rear panel. Keate's ownership signature to ffep., binding a little loose, and with wear to spine ends.

First edition. CANADIAN PUBLISHER STUART KEATE'S COPY, WITH HIS OWNERSHIP SIGNATURE TO FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. WITH A REVIEW OF THE BOOK BY 'TITUS CANBY' LAID IN, PUBLISHED IN THE MAY 1962 ISSUE OF INFINITY.

Jock Carroll [1919-1995] was a Canadian photo-journalist and war correspondent. This, his only work of fiction, was inspired by a photo shoot on the set of Niagara (1953) with Marilyn Monroe. His friend Stuart Keate [1913-1987] was a Canadian newspaper publisher and President of The Canadian Press.

Laid in to the book is an offprint from the May 1962 issue of Infinity, house journal of the American Society of Magazine Photographers. The offprint is a review of the book by one 'Titus Canby' -- almost certainly a pseudonym used by Carroll to push his own book: 'Titus Canby' was a character in an American comic strip called Bringing Up Fatherwhich was widely syndicated across continental America at the time. Also, the review is an absolute rave.
