Delta of Venus : Erotica by Anaïs Nin

FIRST EDITION [1978] HARCOURT BRACE JOVANOVICH

Full sized cloth-bound hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition. 

Dust jacket is very good; spot of sticker ghosting on rear and small split to bottom of rear panel.  Now housed in a new HQ brodart jacket protector.

Book itself has a bit of a curve to boards; but is otherwise excellent.  Pristine red cloth boards and pages that look and read like new.   Small inscription on front endpaper.

Fifteen short stories by Anaïs Nin published posthumously in 1977 - though largely written in the 1940s as erotica for a private collector.

In Delta of Venus Anaïs Nin penned a lush, magical world where the characters of her imagination possess the most universal of desires and exceptional of talents. Among these provocative stories, a Hungarian adventurer seduces wealthy women then vanishes with their money; a veiled woman selects strangers from a chic restaurant for private trysts; and a Parisian hatmaker named Mathilde leaves her husband for the opium dens of Peru. Delta of Venus is an extraordinarily rich and exotic collection from the master of erotic writing.
