Monster
AU$150 Read MoreAdd to cartRobin Morgan
Melbourne: Melbourne Radical Feminists, No date.American radical feminist Robin Morgan’s first book of poems, originally published by Random House in 1972. The title poem, ‘Monster’, quickly became one of the best-known poems of the women’s liberation movement, with the collection selling thirty thousand copies in its first six months. Its most controversial poem, ‘Arraignment’, accused Ted Hughes of complicity in Sylvia Plath’s death through his infidelity and alleged violence. Although Morgan revised the poem before publication, Hughes threatened legal action. Without informing Morgan, Random House agreed to withdraw the book from Commonwealth markets in return for Hughes dropping the matter. Feminist presses across the Commonwealth responded with unauthorised ‘pirate’ editions, most produced with Morgan’s blessing. The first appeared in Canada and followed shortly after by editions in Australia and New Zealand. Each varied in content: some carried graphics by women artists, others photographs of Plath, others, as here, both versions of ‘Arraignment’. This Australian edition includes illustrations and a bibliographical preface by Melbourne Radical Feminists.

The Maggie Poem
AU$300 Read MoreAdd to cartShelton Lea
[Mountain View]: [Shelton Lea], No date.Poem printed in Lea’s usual 1980s photocopy Mountain View output, this piece about his relationship with the red-headed Irish prostitute Maggie, and her death by his side in a Melbourne park. Georgeff’s Delinquent Angel tells the story: “Shelton had, at various times, fallen into the arms of prostitutes. There was a history of unconditional mateship between Shelton and those girls, even from his early days in Kings Cross. They’d provided a safety net for him and he had reciprocated. Shelton believed in the notion of the good-hearted prostitute. ‘I’ve met a whole lot of them in my life and they’ve treated me kindly. They don’t treat themselves very kindly.’ Maggie was an Irish girl with mad flaming hair. She was a junkie. She was the girl Shelton had gone to after the break up with Barbara. Candle, her hoon (pimp) had her installed upstairs in a building in Fitzroy. ‘Any nap-jack could come and fuck her for ten bob, and Candle would take the money.’ She wanted to get away and Shelton had fought Candle to take her. They went to the seaside for a few days. When they came back, they took a flagon of port and went to the park, the dying ground, with the blackfellas and shared it with them. Shelton fell asleep in the sun on the grass, near the highrise flats. ‘Maggie slid around the corner for a dose of methadone. She came back and drank more port and when I woke up she was lying next to me dead.’ He wrote a poem for Maggie and said he thought it was grand and full of life. ‘That’s what it is to be a poet, to sing about life. There’s no time for bitterness, but I don’t walk through that park when I don’t think about Maggie …’ A single copy recorded in Trove, at the State Library of Victoria, a further copy also located in the Papers of Shelton Lea at UNSW.

Sandraman the Enemaman
AU$400 Read MoreAdd to cartF. Wakeling; M. Dreer; Sandra Anne
Erin: Sandraman Enterprises, No date.Illustrated erotic contact magazine devoted to enema fetishism and related watersports interests, issued during the 1970s from the same postal address as the fetishwear mail-order business Betty’s. Produced for a highly specialised readership, the publication combined illustrated fantasy narratives, correspondence, and contact-advertisement material centred on klismaphilia, the sexualisation of enemas and related practices. Although the fetish itself long predates its formal medical description, the term “klismaphilia” was coined in 1973 by psychiatrist Dr. Joanne Denko in a published case study examining patients for whom enemas functioned as a sexual preference. Earlier evidence of the practice appears in informal and clinical literature, including data gathered by sexologist Alfred Kinsey and colleagues in their 1953 survey of female sexual behaviour, which recorded enemas among a range of masturbatory techniques and erotic interests. Like many niche fetish publications of the period, Sandraman the Enemaman appears to have been distributed privately through mail-order networks rather than conventional bookselling channels. Survival rates are consequently low, reflecting both the ephemeral nature of the publication and the discretion of its readership. Unrecorded in OCLC.

L’Art de Seduire les Hommes suivi de l’Amour et les Poisons
AU$250 Read MoreAdd to cartUne Femme Curieuse [Maurice Magre]
Paris: L’Edition, Bibliotheque des Curieux, No date.French guide to the seduction of men with supplementary essays on love and poisons (including opium) published under the pseudonym of a curious woman, likely the work of the poet Maurice Magre, who published L’Art de seduire les Femmes and the essays also fitting his style, though this remains unsubstantiated. First published in 1910 with illustrations by Fabien Fabiano, here reissued under the curiosa imprint of the brothers Robert and Georges Briffaut with a cover illustration by noted illustrator of shipping line posters Sandy-Hook [Georges Taboureau], and with illustrated headpieces by another hand throughout. There are at least two issues by the brothers, the first likely issued circa 1915-16 with the cover printed by the Paris printer Kapp, with plates again by Fabiano, and running to 283 numbered pages; for this issue circa 1920-21 the cover is printed by De Matteis, and runs to 269 numbered pages, the lower count reflecting the absence of Fabiano’s plates, which in the first issue had been included within the pagination.

Le Vice Marin: Confessions d’un Matelot
AU$1,500 Read MoreAdd to cartJean Bosc
Paris: Albin Michel, No date.A French maritime novel centred on homosexual desire aboard ship, and a notable document in the literary history of same-sex desire. The first part of the story explicitly confronts the “marine vice” of pederasty. The book attracted controversy, prompting later issues to appear under the more discreet title ‘Les Isoles, moeurs maritimes’. In a preface to the retitled edition, dated 15 March 1905, Bosc complained that Le Vice Marin had “frightened the bourgeoisie” and that newspaper editors refused even to advertise it, forcing his publisher to disguise a commercially successful book beneath a less provocative title. The episode provides a revealing glimpse of the constraints surrounding the public discussion of homosexuality in Belle Epoque France. The novel prefigures later maritime treatments of adolescent sexuality, including the controversy surrounding James Hanley’s Boy (1931). Its place in the period’s homosexual self-understanding is seen in Georges Portal’s 1936 Un Protestant, whose narrator discovers the book in a shop window and recognises in it a reflection of his own experience. After numerous printings of the first edition by Pierre Douville, this second edition issued in Albin Michel’s Le Roman-Succes series (c. 1920s/1930s) and illustrated throughout by Marcel Bloch. The restoration of the original title suggests a markedly different publishing climate from that which had prompted its disguise a generation earlier.

A Treatise on Diamonds and Pearls;
AU$200 Read MoreAdd to cartDavid Jeffries
London: E. Lumley, No date.In which their importance is considered; and plain rules are exhibited for ascertaining the value of both; also the true method of manufacturing diamonds. First published in 1750, being “the first book in English to describe how diamonds and pearls can be evaluated on the basis of the factors of size (or weight) and style of cut”. This edition, while stated as the Fourth Edition, is produced by the London bookseller Edward Lumley sometime in the 19th century, and differs from the fourth edition of 1871 “While resembling the 4th edition, it has been prepared by a different publisher and the contents are drastically re-arranged. The explanation of technical terms omitted in the previous edition (despite its claim to completeness!) is here restored.” SINKANKAS 3203. Though given the career of Lumley it is likely this edition was published prior to the 1871 fourth edition.
