About This Item
New York: Random House, ( 1968 ). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/very good. 8vo, 402 pages, black cloth, top edge stained red; dj soft crease at front flap
Author's first book. A Catholic Portnoy's Complaint. "Father Fisk began to change when he met Matthew. He found himself curiously drawn to the intense youth who seemed to be able to bend everyone and everything to his will. It was Matthew who introduced him to Meg, the prostitute who showed him a new, bizarre world that ripped him away from the priesthood into a seething drug-induced orgy of the senses." - from the paperback edition. Apparently this is his only published book. He is not to be confused with the crime writer James McClure.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
