No remainder marks. Dust jacket foxing has caused minor "freckling" spots. TLS says: "Peter De Vries is one of the most stylish of novelists and much, much the funniest." John P. Marquand says: "...I am willing to submit that one must go back to Laurence Sterne ...and Cervantes to find the same qualities of wisdom combined with slap-stick drollery that Peter De Vries exhibits..." An adroit sex-farce, a comic novel of sensibility, and a crime-and-detection piece all rolled into one with a gallery of characters, Chick Swallow, Nickie Sherman, Mrs. Thicknesse, Lila Swallow, Pete Cheshire, who allow De Vries to take full measure of human foolishness.
