Samurai Transvestite Part 1

NY: Turnabout/Candor Books, [circa late 1960s]. 28pp; illus. Saddle-stapled in illustrated wraps. Very good, with crease and marker notation to upper fore-corner of rear cover, pulling to staples, light general wear.

Transvestite fiction about an American raised (and trained as a geisha) in Japan, who returns to the States to live with a rich aunt, and is further instructed in the art of crossdressing. This title written pseudonymously by Turnabout publisher Siobhan Fredericks, who is nonetheless credited as its author in the back matter of Turnabout No. 11. Illustrations through by Dennis Lord. N.B. There is one error in collation, perhaps endemic to this title: though the centerfold illustration on pp. 14-15 appears appropriate, the texts on pages 13 and 16 appear to have been intended for a different crossdressing publication (fragmentary letters to the editor). The main narrative continues, with a slight discontinuity, on page 17. Scarce; OCLC locates only two holdings of this title, at Yale and the University of Minnesota.
