New York: Vantage Press, 1972. 82pp. Original publisher's red morocco, lettered in silver, with original publisher's pictorial pink textured dustwrapper. Dustrapper scuffed and marked, flaps taped to pastedowns. Inscribed on the FFEP: 'Complimentary Copy to Sir Laurence Olivier from Christopher Lynley George'. Loosely inserted is a typewritten letter in it's original addressed envelope from the brothers expressing their admiration for Olivier: 'I would deem it an honor if you would accept my novel as a small token of admiration and respect I have for you and your long standing career...I have often visualized you as Christopher and Merle Oberon as Lisa.' Christopher Lynley George was the pen name of two Jersey City brothers, John and Anthony Amorosa, who together penned this title.

Ink inscription to head of title; 'This is a Gift of Will Norton's', ink inscription to head of drop-title; 'Will Sorimer 1744', spots of dust-soiling and foxing throughout.
