FIRST EDITION QUITE RARE IN THIS SPECIAL LIMITATION ISSUANCE,.We know of no other copies currently on the market.

Ellis viewed sexual activity as the healthy and natural expression of love, and he sought to dissipate the fear and ignorance that characterized many people s attitudes toward human sexuality.
