Paris: Olympia Press, 1962. 12mo, pp. 185. Original green stiff paper wrappers, printed in black on front and back panels and spine. Publisher's label over price to rear panel, remainder of bookseller's label to rear endpaper, gum residue from removed label to ffep., a little edgewear and bumping to corners. About very good. First edition, second issue. No. 40 in the Traveller's Companion series. First published by Olympia in 1957 with the title The Organization, the book was suppressed two years later by the French authorities on grounds of obscenity. This impression was re-issued in 1962 with a slightly different title in an attempt to get around the ban. They should have tried harder with the new title: the book was prosecuted in 1963. 5.40.2
