Chicago: Aldine Publishing Company, (1970).. First edition.. xix + 180 pp w/index. Fine in near fine dust jacket with three short edge-tears and a small bookseller label on the front flap. Foreword by Lee Rainwater. Sociologist Humphrey’s “imaginative” research method, “passing as a deviant” to observe and interview, was roundly criticized and stands as an example of questionable research ethics.
