DES CARS, GUY. _The Damned One._ pbo Pyramid, 1956.

These are all the same sort of thing, evening wasters or scv, depending on taste. Big handsome men of incredible stamina, engaging incessantly in that one activity besides which all else is as naught, with a succession of beautiful women, blonde, brunette and redhead. Now and then this procession of affairs is varied a little by letting the girls sport with one another to give the heroes a breathing spell. In short, sexy books for people who like reading sexy books. Adults only, please. DE VOTO, BERNARD. _Mountain Time._ Little, Brown & Co 1946—47, fco. One very brief overt lesbian episode.
