PRESENTATION COPY. SIGNED and inscribed: \"To Dora 'My only Friend' [signed] Bob Coates,\" on title page, with a printed copy of a photograph of the author laid down to front free endpaper. The true first edition has only been known in wrappers; this copy is professionally bound in plain unlettered contemporary dark red cloth with all edges trimmed. Possibly a presentation binding state done by the publisher for the author, or done by the author himself, or even possibly done by the recipient (doubtful). A cloth hardcover binding contemporary with the publication of the book. A surreal science fantasy\/crime novel with a mad scientist and a \"peeping Tom\" ray. The novel was influenced by the principles of DaDa, the nihilistic art movement, and its literary offshoot in the Paris of its day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eBook Condition: \u003c\/span\u003eVery Good: Firm copy, softened corners, some rubbing to the faded spine.
